Thats why Rushlight Ventures (RLV) originated as a venture studio in 2020 within Cornerstone Research Group (CRG), its sister company and a renowned government contractor for more than 25 years. Soon after forming the venture studio, leadership realized that CRG was not the only company grappling with transition and monetization difficulties, and RLV was spun off as an independent entity in 2021. Today, RLV successfully bridges the gap between RDT&E and commercialization through its seasoned team. RLV staff possess decades of experience in new technology development and commercialization, aerospace and defense RDT&E, new company formation, financing, licensing, and mergers and acquisitions. We have the knowledge and ability to take you from now to wow.
