Single session event

Participate in a live case study/brainstorming session involving the development of technology commercialization/business plans for 3 companies that have received between $150,000 and $650,000 in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grants from the National Science Foundation. Faculty, students and staff interested in commercializing technology through startups, licensing or corporate partnerships will learn about the issues first hand in the course of this live case study. No prior experience is necessary.

Each case will be introduced by the CEO/Founder of the company and the existing plan will be reviewed by the NSF Program Manager and an experienced Entrepreneur/Moderator. The class participants will actively engage in helping the company develop and/or refine its existing plan and/or develop alternative commercialization strategies. These will be hands-on large group working sessions.

Participants will choose one of the three cases to work on. Cases are expected to be in the areas of (1) Software and Services, (2) Biotech and (3) Electronics/Hardware.
