At OPTIMUM, an architecture, furniture, and technology (A/F/T) products collective, were not defined by size or the number of product lines but by our unique design-thinking approach. We believe in solving workplace challenges by optimizing the integration of architecture, furniture, and technology to create seamless experiences for those who design, plan, deliver, and occupy spaces. What sets us apart is our focus on offering aesthetically appealing, high-performance products that balance design and cost-efficiency, along with our partnerships with flexible manufacturers who can customize solutions to meet specific needs. Success isnt about individual pieces; its about the synergy that happens when people, elements, and solutions come together, resulting in outcomes far greater than the sum of their parts. This philosophy drives everything we do at OPTIMUM as we enhance the environments where we live, work, learn, and heal.
You can count on Rushlight Ventures to maximize the value of your intellectual property (IP). Rushlight Ventures is a leading venture studio that specializes in the monetization of defense and dual-use intellectual property created by small and mid-sized businesses conducting federally sponsored research. We are both "IP type" and "monetization path" agnostic. We can pursue value creation from your IP via licenses, asset sales, startups, joint ventures, M&A, or internal business units. We work with IP of all varieties, including products, patents, trade secrets, proprietary relationships, and know-how. At Rushlight Ventures, we provide a range of consulting and support services, including: • Licensing • Asset sales • Joint ventures • Startup and spin-out creation • Commercialization planning and TABA support Companies primarily focused on delivering high-quality research, development, testing, and evaluation services (RDT&E) and other large programs may find it challenging to be equally adept at technology commercialization. Thats why Rushlight Ventures (RLV) originated as a venture studio in 2020 within Cornerstone Research Group (CRG), its sister company and a renowned government contractor for more than 25 years. Soon after forming the venture studio, leadership realized that CRG was not the only company grappling with transition and monetization difficulties, and RLV was spun off as an independent entity in 2021. Today, RLV successfully bridges the gap between RDT&E and commercialization through its seasoned team. RLV staff possess decades of experience in new technology development and commercialization, aerospace and defense RDT&E, new company formation, financing, licensing, and mergers and acquisitions. We have the knowledge and ability to take you from now to wow.
