Purdue Foundry Studio + Trask Fund

Purdue Foundry Studio + Trask Fund sits inside Purdue Research Foundation's Purdue Innovates stack. It is a Purdue-connected commercialization route for founders who want startup support, licensing help, and venture capital rather than an open public grant competition. The route shows a $5,000 to $250,000 range, rolling access, and Purdue-affiliated eligibility for companies at TRL 1-4. The Foundry Investment Fund inside Purdue Innovates Ventures is focused on Purdue-connected life science startups, especially human, plant, and animal health technologies, while the wider Purdue Innovates platform also includes incubation, the Accelerator, and the New Venture Challenge. The practical fit is a Purdue inventor or entrepreneur with a licensed technology or a Purdue-linked startup that can move through contact-form deal flow. Because the route is tied to Purdue affiliation and does not present itself as a public competition calendar, it reads more like an internal venture and commercialization channel than a general-purpose funding program.
