Supporting Startups Post-Licensing

Engaging with a technology transfer office doesn’t end when a license is signed—in many ways, that’s just the beginning. This webinar will highlight how one national lab, Sandia National Laboratories, supports startups and licensees as they move from technology acquisition to market success. Through programs such as the New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program (NMSBA), Technology Readiness Gross Receipts Tax Credit (TRGR), and the DOE Boost Platform, Sandia provides targeted technical and commercialization support. The lab also works with partners including NM LEEP, Roadrunner Ventures, and the State of New Mexico - leveraging resources like the Advanced Energy Fund, to help companies secure funding, build networks, and accelerate growth.

David Kistin is the Manager of Technology and Economic Development at Sandia National Laboratories, where he leads technical assistance programs for industry partners in partnership with the State of New Mexico. He also serves as the Associate Director of Quantum Information Science (QIS) Ecosystem for the DOE Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), and as Director of the Sandia Science & Technology Park
