Executive summary
Current state
AICONIC BIOSCIENCES received $305K NSF SBIR Phase I funding for gene therapy research but faces a severe commercial execution gap between their research deliverables and the $100M+ required for FDA approval and market access. The SBIR program creates research capital without commercial infrastructure, generating multiple asymmetric opportunities around vendor procurement, commercial intelligence, and process IP capture.
Market catalyst
AICONIC's IP is focused on the minigene technology itself, leaving the commercialization process unprotected - creating a legal void where process IP can be established as a choke-point on their path to market.
