Commercialization Partners (or "CPs") collaborate with TLA on a weekly basis, providing expert feedback and perspective regarding new technologies developing at the UArizona. TLA's Venture Development Managers maximize the alignment between each individual Commercialization Partner's personal talents and goals and the leadership needed to pull each unique technology into the marketplace.
CPs start out as members of our network. Once they have started participating and have expressed an interest in greater engagement in TLA's work, they are asked to submit a letter of intent and a resume, which are reviewed prior to the individual being offered a partner post.
