Austin-based Fluid Innovation, the only Austin company accepted into DEMO Fall ’07, has expanded their global reach through a partnership with Secret Sauce, an Australian-based IP commercialization company. Tom Hochstatter, Vice President at Fluid Innovation said“after validating our model in the US we wanted to access the rich stream of innovations being developed by major corporations in Australia and the Asian region. Secret Sauce has the necessary local presence and expertise to accelerate our entry into the region.” Fluid Innovations has built streamlined processes and tools for evaluating and extracting value from IP at Fortune-class companies such as Microsoft and Lockheed Martin. Try your hand at evaluating and placing bets on IP at the Virtual Ventures website, which Fluid launched at DEMO.
