The University Entrepreneur Workshop is designed to help faculty and students learn the practical aspects starting a company based on university research. Over the course of this two-day workshop, experienced entrepreneurs will mentor attendees on how to evaluate the commercial potential of their technology, define the first steps in starting a company and assemble a startup roadmap for taking the next steps in launching the company.

What?
Throughout the course of the workshop, we will inform you on the basics of taking a technology outside the university setting, help evaluate commercial potential, identify special considerations relating to faculty entrepreneurs, review the practical steps towards starting a company, discuss the types of communication involved in venture creation and with the help of experienced coaches, develop an action plan moving forward.
