BRILLIANCE CONNECT

Welcome to Brilliance Connect
Let's build community together
"94% of tech execs consider innovation partnerships as a necessary strategy"
Harvard Business Review - July 14, 2022
We built Brilliance Connect to address the challenges our community faces
How It Works
Set up your profile
Describe your business, what you’re looking for, and how you want to collaborate. This powers the recommendation engine
Post collaboration opportunities
Share what you need—funding, partners, co-inventors, or support for a project. Your posts flow into compatible members’ dashboards.
Set your alerts
Choose the topics and opportunity types you care about so you get notified when relevant people, projects, or IP show up.
List your IP in the marketplace
Add your intellectual property to the marketplace and repository to signal it’s open for collaboration, licensing, or purchase.
Connect and build deals
Use recommendations, search, groups, and forums to reach out, start conversations, and turn interest into real agreements.
Cultivate new partnerships
Discussion Forums
Join focused discussion forums to share ideas, ask questions, and solve real problems together. As you contribute, you’ll naturally discover collaborators with shared interests and complementary skills.
Private Messaging
Contact other members directly to explore potential partnerships. Use direct outreach to follow up on promising connections you’ve discovered elsewhere on the platform and turn shared interest into real conversations and deals.
Member Groups
Create groups around specific interests or industries so members can quickly find like-minded people, compare notes, and turn shared focus into real collaboration opportunities.
Industry Trends
Host conversations on emerging industry trends to keep the community ahead of the curve and surface members who share your focus—and may be ideal collaborators.

What membership Brings
The Brilliance community brings small and medium businesses, enterprises, technology transfer offices, government agencies, investors, and ecosystem builders onto one platform.
Use smart recommendations to find partners, a collaboration hub to turn ideas into deals, and an IP marketplace to license, buy, or monetize your portfolio—including IP-backed funding and royalty sales.
With built-in skill-building courses and certificates, it’s where innovation, capital, and execution actually meet.
Membership Plans
Basic
With the Basic plan, you get full access to the Brilliance ecosystem: the entire community, the IP marketplace (to list your own IP or browse live opportunities), and the collaboration hub where you can post or respond to projects and partnerships. You can also create your own public or private groups and discussion forums to organize teams, deals, or topic-focused communities.
Pro
The Pro plan takes everything a step further with a concierge outreach service. Our team actively helps you find the connections you’re looking for— to open doors and start serious conversations.
