# Bell Collaborative

> The web of connection across the optics and photonics ecosystem. Bell Collaborative connects the people who should be doing business together, then stays in the room to make it stick.

Bell Collaborative is a business-development and market-intelligence firm for the optics and photonics industry, founded in 2019 by Lisa Belodoff and headquartered in Rochester, New York (at NextCorps). The approach is deliberately non-prescriptive: every engagement begins with a full workup of the client's business before any recommendation, then strategy, embedded execution, and a clean handoff.

## What Bell Collaborative does
- Direct industry access: standing relationships across the optics ecosystem, cultivated over decades rather than pulled from a purchased list.
- Association leadership: board seats at Optics for the Greater Good and the Optical Society of Southern California; supplier member of APOMA with deep ties across SPIE.
- Capture teaming: building the partnerships and win teams around an opportunity before it is won, pairing a client's capability with the right primes, suppliers, and specialists.
- Applied research and intelligence: white papers, market intelligence, and technical tracking across the industry.

## Markets served
Electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems, AI and data infrastructure (optical interconnects and silicon photonics), defense and aerospace, autonomy and LiDAR, medical and life sciences, semiconductors, AR/VR and displays, quantum, and space and communications.

## Founder
Lisa Belodoff, Founder and CEO. Thirty years in optics and photonics, most of it selling and building rather than consulting from the sidelines. Founded Bell Collaborative in 2019 and chairs the board of Optics for the Greater Good.
