The Innovation Partner Program
The Innovation Partner Program fosters collaboration between corporate leaders and the most promising hard tech startups, guiding each relationship from first introduction to lasting partnership.
The Opportunity
The technologies that will define your next decade are being developed in small companies today. Those companies need what you already have: customers, supply chains, manufacturing know-how, and scale. Rhapsody has the trust of both sides, and we put it to work.

The Challenge
Cargo Ships vs. Speedboats
Startups move fast and take risks. Industry leaders move at scale and manage them. Each has what the other needs, but they run on different timelines, budgets, and ways of deciding. Left to themselves, most partnerships stall before they produce anything.
The Innovation Partner Program is how they work together.
Partnerships that work.
Bespoke searches across your target technology areas, and introductions to the most promising startups, curated by investors who have built and backed dozens of hard tech companies.
Hands-on help structuring pilots, joint development, and commercial agreements that work for both sides, so good relationships don’t stall on the way to a contract.
Guidance from hard tech startup veterans on evaluating early technology, moving at startup speed, and building internal innovation programs that actually produce results.
A continuous read on where the science is moving across energy, materials, and manufacturing, so you can act before your competitors do.
A global community of industry-defining corporations
We work with dozens of market leaders around the world, across industries that are drive by science and engineering: energy and semiconductors, materials and industrials, mining and agriculture. What they share is the need to grow through effective engagement with startups.
