Where Science
Meets Opportunity
A private portal for BIU alumni — giving you early access to Bar-Ilan's most promising technologies, ready for licensing, investment, or spin-out. Powered by BIRAD, BIU's commercial gateway.
By invitation only. Access is reserved for verified BIU alumni. All engagements are handled discreetly.
Your role in the ecosystem
Invest. Mentor. Or both.
Many alumni do both — providing capital while also sharing decades of industry experience with the researchers behind the technology. You decide how to engage, and you can adjust it at any time.
Back the next
breakthrough
BIRAD manages Bar-Ilan's IP portfolio and actively brings technologies to market through licensing and spin-out companies. As a verified BIU alumnus, you get early access to these opportunities — before they are publicly announced. Meet the researcher, evaluate the technology, and engage on your own terms.
- Early access to BIRAD's licensing portfolio
- Co-investment and spin-out opportunities
- Connected directly to the research team
- Supported by BIRAD's commercialisation experts
Shape the next
generation
Bar-Ilan researchers are world-class scientists — but turning a discovery into a company takes a different kind of expertise. Your career experience in business, strategy, and markets is exactly what these teams need. Mentorship here is practical, domain-specific, and genuinely impactful.
- Matched to researchers in your field
- Advise on go-to-market and business strategy
- Flexible format — meetings, workshops, or lab visits
- Help shape technologies that could define industries
Simple by design
From first glance to first meeting — in three steps
01
Browse Technologies
Your dashboard shows you the technologies most relevant to your field — curated from BIRAD's active licensing portfolio. Each listing includes a summary and domain tags. Full technical details are shared separately, after you express interest.
02
Express Interest & Get Connected
Click "Request Introduction" on any technology. You'll sign a short confidentiality agreement, then BIRAD's team personally arranges a meeting with the researcher. No cold emails, no delays — a real introduction, within days.
03
License, Invest, or Mentor
Once connected, the path is yours to define. BIRAD can structure a licensing agreement, a co-investment, or a spin-out alongside you. If mentorship is your focus, the researcher team will welcome your expertise directly.
