The goals of RIFF are:
- to catalyze Early-Stage Innovation: RIFF focuses on the very beginning of the innovation funnel (upstream from startups) by funding and de-risking bold scientific ideas. Its goal is to prepare these high-impact concepts for the next stages of commercialization and venture capital, rather than acting as a startup studio itself.
- to experiment with "Lab-to-Life" Models: It actively tests and advocates for new operational frameworks—such as novel funding models, facilities, and organizational structures—to accelerate the speed at which scientific research translates into real-world solutions.
-to build the Deeptech Ecosystem: RIFF aims to stimulate the broader environment by spotlighting promising ideas and trends early on, raising awareness of the deeptech sector, and fostering a vibrant ecosystem that encourages future venture creation.
