Productization

Discovering, creating, and transforming Ideas and Technologies into useful, valuable, and reproducible Products and Services.

Commercialization

Discovering, defining, and transforming realized or unrealized Needs and Problems into Customers and Markets.

Capitalization

The managing of inflows and outflows of capital to transform Sweat Equity and Cash into Sustainable Profits. More on this by Reload Ventures.
