Founder-ready startup opportunities & high-potential inventions

Welcome to the StartupHub, where we connect high-tech entrepreneurs with promising inventions and startups. We match the most promising University of Arizona inventions with entrepreneurs with the passion, talent, and experience to form startups and lead them forward.

Let's find some new tech.

The Atmospherica process utilizes naturally occurring, photosynthetic, shell-forming micro-algae to sequester CO2 and store it as calcium carbonate, a highly durable mineral that is stable for millions of years. It is a safe and relatively easy process that can be implemented quickly and cost effectively.
We offer a novel tool for antibiotic treatment. Our approach targets a broad spectrum of bacteria but eliminates the risk of evolving resistance by targeting a multitude of pathways.
An EVD or external ventricular drain, is a device used in neurosurgery to relieve intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from a disturbance in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage due to tumors, cysts, bleeding, infection, hydrocephalus, and trauma. Existing EVD’s are manually assembled so as to insure appropriate drainage and ICP. Unfortunately, these systems are labor intensive and require full time monitoring by the medical staff. Using today’s electronic devices and sensors, we have designed an EVD that can provide a completely autonomous solution while providing accuracy and repeatability.
We have developed a smart pessary that features customized design for increased comfort and compliance and sensors to monitor vaginal health.
The SeVA platform is a composite AI device that can be effectively deployed in hospital, nursing homes and home settings. It has the capability to track a patient’s mental and physical state and signal early signs of risks such as delirium, falls or impending illness. It provides emotional support to the patient and their family by indulging in a natural conversation and facilitating their needs. When fully deployed, the product can serve as a platform which allays worry for people and their caregivers and will reduce healthcare costs by identifying the early signs of severe illness.
Precision anti-infective technology focused on a microbiome sparing strategy. We target Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), an antibiotic-associated infectious diarrheal disease, through oral delivery of a targeted Antisense Oligonucleotide.
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world yet suffers 10% annual losses due to diseases (that’s ~$25 billion lost). Tools for control of these diseases are insufficient or too expensive. Efficacious and inexpensive solutions to address aquaculture disease are an industry priority. Our viral vector platform can be a solution - flexible and customizable to address finfish and crustacean diseases. It can be delivered orally to lower cost and make it more universally applicable to the industry.
University of Arizona researchers have developed a safe, edible food sanitizer to eliminate both foodborne and spoilage microorganisms, greatly reducing food illnesses and increasing shelf-life.
