Digital workflow platform QReserve successfully scales from a local University lab to global markets

Brandon Aubie, Co-founder of QReserve, started a company out of a simple need to optimize underutilized research equipment. QReserves is an online SaaS platform that provides smart calendars and workflow solutions to help organizations manage access to their facilities, services, equipment, and spaces.

Over a 10 year journey, QReserve has navigated the challenges of securing funding through grants and customer revenue, the COVID-19 pandemic, and more. As the organization evolved, it grew from a small ad-hoc team to a maturing business with a bigger team of full-time employees. 

Learn how Innovation Factory became a valuable resource in refining QReserve’s business model, providing crucial mentorship, grant connections, and opportunities like LiONS LAIR that sharpened their pitch and expanded their network. 

Find out how QReserve used ecosystem resources to grow and what’s next for the team as they move on to take on bigger markets.
