Furthermore, since many nanotechnology companies are spun out of large companies or universities, they often start with sufficient working capital to conduct operations. On the other hand the particular technology that they were set up to exploit usually still requires further development, which drains resources while no income is being generated. Hence most nanotechnology companies seek external funding. Many seem to survive on government grants for research and may never reach the point of actually selling a product. ...
