"We decided it would be a very good idea to comâ€" mercialize a lot of the inventions we were consultâ€" ing around, but to do that we didn‘t want to comproâ€" mise (ID) and steal its peoâ€" ple. So we created (IA)," said Brill. In this line of work, they often come across invenâ€" tions their clients need. The two built up the conâ€" sulting and training practice together. He soon moved into the consulting field and eventuâ€" ally met Alim Somani, now the president of ID and a partner of IA, while particiâ€" pating in a coâ€"op program at UW. ID began 10 years ago when Brill was teaching technology on Wall Street. "We expect to spin off a number of companies using these bright, energetic peoâ€" ple and provide them with the management and the experience and the sales support, and all of the things they don‘t have," said Gregory Brill, CEO and founder of ID.

Brill hopes to create between three and 10 comâ€" panies a year. But that numâ€" ber depends on how capital intensive the companies are. Eventually IA will have to decide if it can provide enough money to take the project to the scale it needs, or if investments from other venture capitalists are required. "We‘re angels," Brill said. "Angels aren‘t the guys that invest $20 million in something. Angels get it started." Others within the UW community will be solicited to see if they too want to become involved. Students with viable ideas will be given funding and whatever else they need, including education, staff and space. If the idea passes the iniâ€" tial screening, a research group will analyze its marâ€" ket potential. "Our only limitation is whether or not we believe we have the right contacts to commercialize a given idea. But pretty much if there‘s a program at Waterâ€" loo that teaches it, then there‘s a potential for a company that can come from it."

He said partnering with UW is like coming home because 70 per cent of ID‘s 90 staff members are UW alumni. He also wants IA to conâ€" tribute to the Waterloo economy. As well, he hopes many of them either go public, sell to other ventures or turn into sustainable companies. He hopes to see a large number of the companies IA backs be successful and be behind technologies that solve real business and sociâ€" etal programs. ID will benefit because this is a chance to realize its ideas and to grow some ventures. As well, its employees will have the opportunity to invest in and to become involved in these companies.
