Journey ⛰️
SANNT began as a consulting firm helping universities commercialize innovative technologies. The team quickly pivoted to independently accelerate the development of eye care technologies, creating a focused company that harvests promising eye care innovations stalled within institutions. SANNT licenses these technologies, forms new companies around these assets, drives development toward commercialization, and positions these ventures for acquisition by multinational eye care companies.
