P-01 / OceansSpinout
Geery Glider
A buoyancy-driven survey glider paired with a moored acoustic relay chain, giving reef-scale sonar coverage without a support vessel on station.
IP Foundry · Brooklyn, NY
Intelligent Design, lab to market.
Curating, patenting and commercializing innovations that meet needs within our core domains. We seek out and commercialize frontier technology, bridging the gap between lab and market.

01 / About
An IP pipeline, run as a portfolio.
Helping solve critical real-world challenges through science, empathy, and creativity. Most hard-tech ideas die between the paper and the prototype, so we work that gap on purpose: a small engineering team, a filing strategy that runs alongside the build, and physical demonstrators that let a partner see the mechanism move before they commit.
Each asset exits one of three ways: licensed to an operator in the field, spun out as a standalone company, or built and sold as a system.
ScoutPatentPrototypeCommercialize
SCOUT
Field problems sourced from operators, not literature.
PATENT
Claims drafted around the mechanism while it is still moving.
PROTOTYPE
In-house fabrication, test, and instrumented trials.
COMMERCIALIZE
License, spin out, or manufacture.
02 / Domains
Six areas where the physics is hard, the incumbents are slow, and the buyer is identifiable.
D-01
Oceans
Autonomous gliders, acoustic relay networks, and reef-scale monitoring for survey and conservation work.
D-02
Assistive Tech
Mobility, dexterity, and sensory augmentation built to a price point clinics can actually reach.
D-03
First Responder
Rapid-deploy robotics and sensing for search, disaster response, and degraded-comms environments.
D-04
Energy
Harvesting, storage, and inspection hardware for distributed and offshore generation assets.
D-05
Edutainment
Robotic platforms that teach their own mechanics — transformable kits and instrumented toys.
D-06
AI
Perception, autonomy, and on-device inference that let hardware make decisions where bandwidth and power are scarce.
03 / Portfolio
Spinouts, projects, and patents.
P-02 / EdutainmentPatent + build
Transformable Hexapod
Six mirrored legs fold into a sealed sphere for transport and roll locomotion, then deploy on a single hinge axis for walking over debris.

Three ways to get into the pipeline.
Team
Build with us
Mechanical, embedded, and research capacity on live projects. Engagements run from a single subsystem to a full prototype programme, plus rolling internships.
Join a project →Ideas
Bring a problem
Send an unsolved field problem or an invention you cannot take further alone. We assess whether there is defensible IP in it and what it would take to prove.
Submit an idea →Funding
Back an asset
Capital at the prototype stage or at spinout formation. Investors take exposure to a single asset or to the portfolio across all six domains.
