Highbanks Scientific
grounded in science, shaped for action.
What We Are
Highbanks Scientific is a lean, upstream IP origination firm. We shape early scientific insights into structured intellectual property — often before formal research or development begins.
What We Are Not
We are not a lab, incubator, or venture studio. We don’t operate facilities or seek control. Our role is to bring focus, clarity, and alignment to ideas worth exploring.

Secure provisional patents and position IP early

Founder
Highbanks Scientific was created by Erik Hageman to support idea formation at its most fragile stage. With a background in structured ideation and early innovation strategy, Erik focuses on surfacing overlooked patterns and framing them into clear, research-aligned opportunities.
His work bridges insight and application — bringing intellectual clarity to concepts that deserve thoughtful development. Erik's role is to elevate overlooked insights, give them context, and connect them with the researchers best suited to explore them.
