Starting a new venture based on university research is not the same as launching a traditional high tech startup. This session will discuss a number of unique challenges that you will face and provide suggestions on how to navigate through them. Topics covered will include: how to get from idea to action, how to structure your organization, the best sources of funding at different points, how to increase your chances of getting SBIRs, potential conflicts and problems you may encounter, and resources you can tap into for help for with all of the above. Recent MIT alums who have successfully launched ventures based on their research will be on hand. Open to members of the MIT community, particularly recommended for graduate students from any school or department who are considering starting new ventures based on their discoveries and inventions.
