Co-Pilot is a role-aware assistant trained on this specific technology, similar IP, and commercialization patterns from universities, labs, and corporate pilots. Each persona becomes a focused mini-expert for one lane of work.
As a Commercialization Strategist, Co-Pilot maps beachhead markets, partner targets, pilot pathways, and unit-economic checks for this IP.
Arns Co-Pilot improves over time using real pilot results, faculty feedback, and market signals. IP-specific guardrails keep answers aligned with institutional policies and NDAs.
The License-to-Build pathway lets ASU builders treat this IP as the backbone of a structured studio project — with Arns Innovations coordinating between students, faculty, TTO, and external partners.
Final licenses are always negotiated and signed by ASU Skysong Innovations and relevant institutions. Arns Innovations acts as the system architect and studio operator, not as a TTO replacement.
This illustrative cap table shows how inventors, student founders, and Arns Innovations can share ownership once a system-level invention is created and licensed. Percentages are non-binding — every deal is negotiated with the TTO and partners.
| Party | Role | Time (hrs/wk) | Equity (illustrative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead PI (ASU) | Scientific Co-Founder | 5–10 | 12% |
| Co-Inventor(s) | Scientific Advisor(s) | 1–3 | 4% |
| Student Venture Team | Operating Founders | 15–30 | 24% |
| Arns Innovations | System-Level Architect & IP Orchestrator | 4–8 | 10% |
| Campus / Lab Equity Pool | University-level stake (policies vary) | – | 10% |
| Future Corporate / Studio Capital | Seed investors, strategic partners | – | 40% |
As more IP and institutions are bundled into a single system, additional inventors and labs are added to the table — but Arns Innovations remains on every orchestrated system bundle to manage semantic matching, system-level patents, and cross-institution coordination.
SmartCards is currently available for ASU and partner campuses. A valid .edu email is required so we can personalize builder matches and team recruiting.
