Application and Timing
Competitive calls and terms vary. The retained 2025 Catalyst guidance used a July 30 Demo Day and year-end formation/licensing milestones.
Participants
The program serves faculty, research teams, and companies commercializing SUNY intellectual property. The 2025 S4 Catalyst route required S4 enrollment, Demo Day participation, company formation, and a SUNY license or option.
Funding and Equity
The 2025 guidance offered up to two investments of up to $50,000 each using convertible notes or SAFEs. The fund reported $4.1 million deployed to 83 innovations since 2011 and $17 million in follow-on funding. Those cumulative figures and the $50,000 terms are point-in-time 2025 claims.
Recent Activity
TAF remains listed on RF SUNY's current technology-to-market page. Current 2026 funding guidance was not located.
Known Startups or Winners
The supplied report names SupreMEtric, but a complete directly verified portfolio is missing.
