启动创业实验室
Virginia Tech researchers: Are you curious about how to propel a startup from your lab?
Our world is continually reshaped by new technologies emerging from academic research. Expanding the impact of your research on society and into our economy requires translation of early-stage technologies into market serving products and services. 这样做的一个途径是创业.
The LAUNCH: Center for New Ventures is again presenting 启动创业实验室s this fall. This professional workshop series is specifically designed for Virginia Tech research-focused faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students to enhance their entrepreneurial thinking and de-mystify the deeptech new-venture creation process. 在七个每周模块的过程中, each “lab” will address a different aspect of lab-to-market venture creation and provide experience in applying entrepreneurial tools and methodologies that reduce the uncertainty in advancing new technologies to market.
This work was supported in part by the 英联邦网络倡议, 对网络研发的投资&D、创新和劳动力发展. 有关CCI的更多信息，请访问 www.cyberinitiative.org.

This professional workshop series is specifically designed for Virginia Tech research-focused faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students to enhance their entrepreneurial thinking and de-mystify the deeptech new-venture creation process.
No. However, if you do have a technology commercialization opportunity in mind, the workshop series offers the opportunity to apply the activities to your idea.Participants only need curiosity about the deeptech startup process. We recognize many academic researchers may feel disassociated from startup entrepreneurship or that they do not have the time or incentives to engage the process. So, we encourage researchers who feel this way to participate and discover that deeptech entrepreneurship has many possible levels of engagement. The 启动创业实验室 is only available to current members of the Virginia Tech research community (see 资格 above).
All the Startup Labs are offered on demand through the VT Orange Canvas site or contact Teresa McCoy, 项目协调员, 在teresas@basilinfracon.com. Reference materials will be available online for review and to download.
- Participants are strongly encouraged to begin with the first Startup Lab to get an introduction to concepts of entrepreneurship and commercialization. The 7 remaining Startup Labs can be taken in any sequence according to interest in a specific topic.
在创业实验室研讨会的过程中, the instructors will be holding their own office hours either in person or virtually. 一般问题请联系Teresa McCoy, teresas@vt.Edu或link@basilinfracon.com
