Background
Hightech.plus covers science and technology business for a Russian readership, with an emphasis on how innovation reaches a market rather than on the research itself.
The distinction that publication cares about is the useful one. An innovation that cannot be sold is a research result, and the gap between the two is not funding but distribution — knowing who has the problem, what they currently pay to endure it, and how the new thing reaches them without requiring them to change how they work first. The ventures documented on this site are all built around that constraint, which is why each one carries its acquisition channel inside the product rather than beside it.
