LOUIS PASTEUR

Chance Favors The Prepared Mind

The Beta Group is a privately held company focusing on strategic innovation in partnership with individuals, venture capitalists, and corporations. We develop technologies to meet existing market needs, often starting with only an idea. If the concept still appears attractive after extensive analysis, we then develop or acquire patent positions, identify management, and seek financing from individuals, venture capitalists, or corporate partners. Beta has developed products for diverse markets, including medical devices, advanced materials, ophthalmic, consumer, logistics, and electronics.

Beta develops technologies from their conception to their commercialization. We prefer focusing on the earliest stages of development, taking ideas through beta test to prove their commercial viability. Our Inventrepreneur process is often long term (5 – 7 years per idea). We work in a variety of markets where innovation can have a significant and sustainable impact, not just hyper-growth emerging markets. Each new venture must stand on its own, attracting outside management and capital beyond the seed stage. We have no structural constraints and have developed our businesses through joint ventures, technology licenses, acquisitions and start-ups, both in the U.S. and overseas.
