Biernath Consulting, Inc., helps small companies assess how AI and other advanced sciences & technologies can help grow their business, then helps them create and implement inventive solutions to achieve that.

Rolf Biernath, PhD in Chemical Engineering, has over 35 years in the Chemicals and Electronics Industries with a concentration on advanced technology new product development. He developed new products and product lines at 3M for 31 years in senior technical roles.  His 56 issued US patents span a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines. He has a strong drive to find the simplest and most effective solutions that meet customer needs and business objectives.  His broad technical background and his resourceful ability to learn new fields quickly make him an ideal partner to help turn product "hunches" into fully realized new products and services.  If it can be done, he'll find the way.  If not, he'll tell you why, and let you know what advances might enable it in the future.

Rolf also works with VC and Angel Investors to assess a startup's new technology odds of technical and business success.  He is known for his ability to break down complex technical problems and find the critical aspects that will make or break a new product.  This helps investors ensure that financial investments are used to target the highest risks first, thereby reducing the money and time wasted chasing after products that may likely never see the light of day.
