STA is an active manager which aims to maximize the potential of new technologies by finding the optimum route to commercialization, providing start-ups with professional advice and financing to help them get established. The firm first draws up a written business concept addressing the most important issues regarding the commercialization of the technology. Next, they seek to prepare the technical verification, identify lead customer and strategic partners and identify potential candidates for the team. If the business concept indicates that an idea has sufficient potential, STA starts to push the commercialization, completing a business plan, getting letters of intent with lead customers and strategic partners signed, completing the technical verification, developing a working prototype and completing the team.
