About

Founded: 2013, Focused: 2019

Contract Research Organization

Triad Growth Partners was founded in 2013 as a contract research organization to take ideas and intellectual property coming from the best universities in North Carolina and commercialize them into revenue producing businesses. In 2019, TGP adopted an environmental focus and began only pursuing ideas that would generate a financial return while also making an impact on the world in which we live. This focus on people, planet, and profit, our triple bottom line, is what drives who we are and how we approach our day to day operations.

Our Goals...

Environmental Impact and ROI

We use a stage gate process that requires ideas to pass certain milestones before being fully commercialized to ensure success isn’t a happenstance but instead a repeatable and efficient process. We believe a great investment and social impact are not mutually exclusive. Our triple bottom line approach focuses on a last affect for our investments. We also aim to be good stewards of investor capital by providing lucrative financial returns.

We provide expert commercialization processes to developing environmental technologies in a unique business environment.

Technology Development

Source and Develop Good Ideas

By driving research and development, we connect new ideas to potential clients. We leverage relationships with universities, federal laboratories, and commercial companies. We’re proud to be preferred partners in developing technologies for the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, the National Institute of Health, and NASA. AxNano is a strategic leadership and technology development group responsible for driving research and development for Triad Growth Partners.

Business Development

Advance Technologies to Marketplace

By combining in-house expertise and analytics with strong outsourcing, we commercialize ideas, advance manufacturing and prototyping, and test technologies that represent significant growth opportunities. We use a repeatable "stage-gate" process to evaluate products and licenses while leveraging best practices and strategies designed to grow our portfolio.

We believe in a "triple bottom line": People, planet, and profit

"Stage-Gate" Process Explained

Our stage-gate process uses a series of development stages to prove an idea or technology and a series of gates or milestones that must be achieved in order for the idea to progress and eventually be commercialized by Triad Growth Partners. By using a defined process, we ensure success is repeatable, not happenstance.
