Fannin Innovation Studio

Fannin Innovation Studio is an early-stage life sciences development group focused on commercializing innovation developed in the Texas Medical Center institutions. Led by an experienced team of managers with diverse business backgrounds, commercialization experience, and strong entrepreneurial knowhow, Fannin partners with promising life science innovators to co-found and actively manage startup companies. Fannin provides its startups with central office space, seed capital and a vast network of resources. To address the root cause of Houston's commercialization gap, Fannin works directly with the city's top-tier, higher education institutions to recruit aspiring entrepreneurs to join its apprenticeship program which provides on-the-job training to collaboratively lead its portfolio companies from innovation to commercialization. Future Outlook: Fannin has successfully validated this business model over the last seven years and is now in the process of scaling it up. Another 15-20 portfolio companies are expected to be developed in the next 3 - 5 years. For more information, email innovate@fannininnovation.com.
