Executive summary
Current state
NSF I-Corps provides $50,000 to Missouri University of Science and Technology to assess commercialization of a patented privacy-preserving AI camera technology, revealing a structural commercial gap where the university has technical expertise but lacks market access and entrepreneurial execution capability.
Market catalyst
University holds patented privacy-preserving AI camera technology with NSF I-Corps commercialization funding but zero licensees and no commercial infrastructure - creating a massive spread between academic licensing fees (typically 3-7% royalty) and defense/surveillance market rates (15-25% royalty + six-figure upfront payments).
