You focus on the science. We handle everything else.

Control Group is an execution partner for research and engineering teams. We work with you and your university to win grants and investment, incorporate, and map market strategy—so you can build a competitive product.

One service, or many.

Not every project needs everything. Select the support that fits your stage, goals, and constraints. Each package operates independently—combine as needed.

Both services are entirely success-based—zero cost if we don't deliver results. As a SAM.gov-registered research partner, we're eligible to directly participate in federal grant programs alongside your team.

Funding strategy

Commercialization isn’t easy. We help researchers evaluate whether an idea is worth pursuing, how it might reach the market, and what structure best supports long-term value creation.
