鈥淲e鈥檝e been watching Double Helix鈥檚 progress with great interest, including their 2016听, so we could feel this coming,鈥 said Brynmor Rees, Director of Technology Transfer at CU Boulder. 鈥淭his achievement exemplifies the traction we鈥檝e seen across many CU Boulder startups, which have collectively raised over $300 million in the last two years.鈥

Double Helix Optics is an exclusive licensee of the university and was听founded based on technology听from the lab of company co-founder Rafael Piestun, professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering. The company applied to the Luminate program to help scale its operations and extend its reach into life sciences, drug discovery and machine vision markets.

鈥淒ouble Helix serves as a model for spinning a research innovation out of the lab,鈥 added Rees. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great time to follow in those footsteps. Emerging Technology Transfer resources, like the Commercialization Academy, Lab Venture Challenge and mentor network open the door for researcher-entrepreneurs to create a greater impact through their innovations.鈥
