During this module\, you’ll be introduced to the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) System\, a program developed at NASA to determine whether a product is ready for commercialization. \nSpecific objectives include: \n\nUnderstand the factors you need to consider while starting\, operating\, funding and growing a successful technology company.\nLearn how to objectively evaluate your technology and company to determine how close you are to commercialization.\nDefine the steps you need to take to ready your technology or company for commercialization.\nLearn how to determine what your deficiencies are and how to correct them.\n\nLean Startup Methodology \nThe Lean Startup provides a scientific data-driven approach to creating and managing startups to get a desired product into customers’ hands faster. The Lean Startup methodology teaches you how to use customer data to drive a startup- how to steer\, when to turn\, and when to persevere-and grow a business with maximum acceleration. It is a principled approach to new product development. \nSpecific objectives include: \n\nUsing the Business Model Canvas\nConducting customer development\nBuilding/Using an MVP (minimum viable product)\nRapid iterations/pivots\n\nIP Protection \nOnce you’ve identified a unique or innovative product or service\, you need to protect it.

During this module\, we’ll discuss various capital formation strategies. You’ll learn about the different funding options\, and how to determine if debt\, equity financing\, or searching for funding available through the government and other alternative sources of funds is the right fit for your venture. \nSpecific objectives include: \n\nUnderstand the types of funding that are available at different stages of venture readiness.\nUnderstand the difference between angel investors and venture capitalists\, and how to tailor an investor pitch to each.\nLearn about funding available from government sources (SBIR\, tax credits\, etc.)\nLearn how you can leverage alternative funding sources (i.e. asset-based lending\, factoring\, etc.)\n\n  \nClick Here to Register
