What is the DaVinci Institute?

The DaVinci Institute is an open, trusted source of thought leadership in businesses development for emerging innovators. Founded in 1997 as a futurist think tank, the non-profit DaVinci Institute today carries a much broader mission.

Emerging innovators - inventors, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs (corporate entrepreneurs) - all share a common enthusiasm for their ideas. Inventors typically have neither market-ready products nor businesses. Entrepreneurs have at least formative businesses. Intrapreneurs work within large organizations where formal businesses may not make sense, yet where success depends on being businesslike.

All commonly need skills and experience to turn their ideas into commercial profits. To get their ideas heard and funded, these people need credibility, practical business processes, and effective methods for testing their ideas. They need business maturity that shows in their products, strategies and communications.

The Institute increases the confidence and credibility of emerging innovators by improving their decision making, effective use of resources, and time to revenues.

To deliver those benefits, the company offers a comprehensive line of services. In part, the Institute delivers services from its own resources. To round out the service offering, the Institute has aligned itself with highly respected allies.

Futurist Think Tank: Special events along with contract and unsponsored research to develop repeatable business-development processes and other support for the Institute's client base

Monthly Events: Unique networking opportunities designed to introduce the idea people to a talented pool of people that make things happen.

Boot Camps: Introductory programs for inventors, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and angel investors

Summits: Major events designed to explore the vision and futurist thinking on specific topics.

Speaking: Keynotes and plenary programs on How to Change the World

Publishing: Knowledge needed to move from idea to successful business

DaVinci Fund: In the near future, DaVinci will also develop a microcap investment fund for emerging entrepreneurs and manage a pre-incubator.

These programs and services are of such high quality and relevance that highly credible organizations join DaVinci via sponsorships and guest speaking.

Thus DaVinci is unique in its ability to serve its emerging innovators with all training and services needed to rapidly mature ideas, people, and businesses and to speed progress toward market entry and profitability.

Indeed, the mission of the DaVinci Institute is… To empower its clients to change the world… one idea, one product, one business at a time.
