Receive a weekly email digest of the latest solutions added by the network.“Using Halo we've been able to find new research and experts that none of our other tools could find. That has been a major benefit, unearthing what is up and coming and beneath the surface.”

“Through Halo I've been able to connect and collaborate with partners that see applications for my research in areas I hadn't imagined.”

“Rather than searching for a needle in a haystack, Halo brings the needle to you. It's the magnet that pulls the right partners out of the haystack.”

“Working with the Halo platform made my life a lot easier. My proposal was rapidly screened, and I was connected quickly to the sponsoring entity.”

“Discover on Halo is something you can use as an individual every day, no matter how busy you are. And it's far superior to trying to be everywhere all at once.”

“Halo is helping bridge an important gap by making it easier for academic scientists to connect with companies around real needs.”

“Halo has given us a lot of new and fresh ideas that line up with our business needs, and much broader reach than through traditional channels.”

“What we hadn't expected was how much Halo would help expand our own network of researchers across the world that we can now leverage for future opportunities.”

“In a matter of weeks, we received high quality proposals that aligned with our interests. Although our goal was to fund one project, we were so impressed with the caliber of submissions we're considering funding three.”

“Instead of abstract consultant slides, we received concrete technologies and partners we could move forward with immediately.”

“Halo has become an integral part of our innovation strategy. We've leveraged it to build our global network of scientists and startups focused on our most pressing technical challenges.”

“I really appreciated that you can keep all the connections you make, evaluate them, and decide different paths forward for each one.”

“Halo solves the biggest pain points researchers face. I submitted a proposal and in less than a week was on the phone with the industry partner.”

“Listing on Halo was very straightforward and intuitive. We noticed meaningful inbound interest shortly after publishing, including conversations that would have been difficult to generate through our usual channels.”

“Halo gave my company access to a wide range of collaborating opportunities. This allowed me to partner with various companies that I didn't otherwise have access to.”

“Your tool is a great match-making site for a company like ours. We don't pursue basic research, only high-level applied research with practical, economical results.”

“I am amazed at the process efficiency, and how the opportunity was brought to my attention in the first place.”
