Substantial &
Transformational Opportunities
The
Egg Factory has the proven ability to recognize & develop big opportunities
while in the embryonic concept state. The Egg Factory only will pursue
ideas that are global in scope and that address large markets. In fact,
the first hurdle that any new idea must pass is that of having the potential
to produce $1+ billion in annual revenues within five years after commercial
launch by a global company. Many of the innovations pursued by The Egg
Factory were brought to The Egg Factory from outside the company. However,
The Egg Factory is extremely selective in the innovations it pursues
and currently is focused primarily on substantial or transformational
innovations having applications in the fields of optics and ophthalmics.
Unique Business
Model
The
Egg Factory has established a unique business model with a strategy
to develop transformational technologies and to sell or license these
technologies to larger companies, particularly the Fortune 500. The
Egg Factory will nurture an innovation to a stage of maturity where
it can be spun out into a free standing operating company with it's
own management team. As part of spinning out the innovation into it's
own operating company 3rd insitutional investment is obtained for the
newly created operating company.
