A structured workspace to capture opportunities, manage pipelines, track decisions and move research from disclosure to licence, spinout, investment or closure, without the admin swallowing your week.
Built for TTOs, venture funds, schools and faculties, in one connected workspace.
Most commercialisation teams don't have a shortage of ideas.
They have a shortage of structured intelligence.
Disclosures arrive faster than a small team can properly evaluate them. Research lives in inboxes and spreadsheets. Decisions are made, then the reasoning walks out the door with staff turnover. The ideas were never the bottleneck. The structure around them was.
The platform
Dealtable replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, inboxes and disconnected tools with a single system built around how TTOs actually work, from first disclosure to final outcome.
Disclosures, referrals and ideas enter through email, meeting notes, calls or direct entry: a single intake system, so nothing arrives and quietly disappears.
Every opportunity is evaluated against your own requirements, dimensions and weighted rubrics: market thresholds, capital intensity, novelty, regulatory clarity, researcher acumen.
Researcher background, publication history, market and cross-industry applications, grants, regulatory framework, assembled into one enriched deal profile with a shareable link.
Licensing pipelines with partner relationship management, spinout deal creation with investor-ready memos, and controlled shareable links to bring co-investors into the round.
The workflow
This is the workflow running inside a live university TTO today. Your team makes every judgement call. The platform does the preparation, the record-keeping and the follow-through.
Researcher · Student · Faculty contact
An idea, disclosure or research opportunity is raised, even pre-publication, before external discussion.
Dealtable captures it through email, meeting notes or direct entry, and creates a new opportunity record. No re-typing, no lost submissions.
Analyst · Commercialisation manager
Your team reviews only qualified opportunities, not every weak or incomplete idea.
Dealtable runs the initial research on fit and commercial validity, triages the opportunity, and promotes approved ideas to active deals. Your team verifies before anything moves.
Your team, with the platform doing the digging
A full picture is built before anyone spends an hour in a meeting.
Dealtable assembles the researcher profile, publication history, market and grant landscape, regulatory framework, and the bear case. Output: an enriched deal profile and a shareable link.
Your team leads the conversation
Researcher conversations run off a prepared, editable question set. You add, edit or remove anything before it's used.
Dealtable identifies the information gaps and drafts first-order and contrarian questions, with rationale. Your edits shape how future assessments are prepared.
Internal review · IC · Commercialisation committee
Quick go / park / close cycles, then rubric-scored formal evaluation when it matters.
Dealtable supports the decision rubric, captures scores and reasons, and keeps monitoring parked ideas for new papers and signals.
Milestones for the IP, commercial partners tracked, and the relationship managed across a months- or years-long process.
Company profile created with an investor-facing memo, shareable externally by link, with no login required for recipients.
Tiered memos: a light "interested?" version first, deeper detail on interest. Investor responses, commitments and the raise tracked live.
For offices with a venture arm
Invested deals switch from transaction mode to portfolio management.
Dealtable tracks deployment, board meetings and quarterly reporting, and requests updates directly from founders to keep records current.
Funders, boards, government
Commercialisation outcomes increasingly need to be reported, not just tracked internally — licences, spinouts, equity positions and returns, over the years it takes for value to actually show up.
Dealtable holds a durable, per-opportunity record — milestones, follow-on rounds, equity and revenue position, outcomes — and turns it into reporting-ready output whenever a funder, board or government body asks. The same portfolio-monitoring machinery that tracks an active spinout keeps working long after the deal closes, so the report is a query, not a scramble.
Institutional memory
Every decision, score, edit and rationale is preserved, regardless of staff turnover.
Dealtable becomes your office's long-term memory: why every opportunity was progressed, parked or closed, available to whoever holds the role next.
What changes for your team
Every disclosure is researched and scored against your criteria before your team touches it. You spend time on the opportunities that deserve it.
Rubric-scored evaluations with the bear case already on the table. Higher information coverage means shorter, sharper meetings.
Why you progressed, parked or closed every opportunity is preserved for the office, not lost in someone's inbox when they move on.
From the field
Auckland University of Technology's commercialisation team runs their full disclosure-to-decision workflow on Dealtable.
Re: Dealtable check-in. How's the team finding it?
"The first pass on every disclosure is done before we open it. We walk into researcher conversations already knowing the gaps and the questions, and every decision we make stays on the record."
For teams ready to go further
Dealy is the optional analyst layer inside the platform. It prepares research, drafts questions and supports evaluations, always with your team making the decisions. Turn it on when your office is ready.
Before you book
Traditional TTO systems are places to store information after the work is done. Dealtable is where the work happens: intake, screening, research, researcher conversations, committee decisions and pathway execution, with the record built as a by-product of doing the job, not as extra admin.
Your university's data is yours. Deal-level information is never shared between organisations. Pre-publication disclosures can be analysed inside your workspace before any external discussion, with role-based permissions controlling exactly who sees what.
Your team is, at every step. Dealtable's analyst layer, Dealy, prepares research and drafts questions, but every go / park / close call, every rubric score and every message to a researcher sits with your people. Use as much or as little of it as your office is comfortable with.
We configure your workspace, criteria and rubrics with you during onboarding. By the time your team is live, intake is running, your pipeline is structured, and your first researcher conversation is prepared. We run a structured 60 to 90 day pilot so your office can evaluate it against real disclosures.
Book a 30-minute walkthrough with our team. Bring a real disclosure and we'll show you how it moves from intake to a decision your office will still be able to explain in five years.
