The Lemelson Foundation

About

"The Lemelson Foundation was established by Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson in 1992 with the vision of cultivating future generations of inventors to create a better world. The Foundation focuses on nurturing invention-based businesses that are developing unique, physical products to address global and community challenges and are destined for high growth. Because these businesses often require a longer time to market due to prototyping, manufacturing, and building distribution channels, they are often overlooked by funders interested in fast results. They provide catalytic funding needed to create and build vibrant invention ecosystems."
