Technology Ventures - The Roadmap from Technology to Market Success

8:30am

Only one percent of formal product concepts become products, and only one percent of those products make money for their owners. Why is it so hard?

In this workshop, you will start with the end in mind, set high level goals, and then work through the potential market size for your product or service, sources of funding, and picking the best path to market.

You will decide whether your best financial resource is licensing, venture capital, angel investment, government grants, credit cards, or grandma's inheritance. Then, you will build a master plan for commercializing your technology.

The facilitators have used the workshop's methods to deliver results to hundreds of companies, ranging from SBIR winners to Fortune 500 corporations.

Expect an intense day that will change the way you think about your future.
