Research Entrepreneurship & Career Panel #3
Friday March 25, 2011
1:00 PM ‐ 2:30 PM
America's Center Convention Complex Room 266
Description: Do you have an idea that extends beyond anything that you have ever seen or heard of? Have you developed something during an academic career that seems marketable? Will your idea require some seed funding or some initial resources? While small businesses and start-ups have traditionally leveraged angel funding and private investors, we, as scholars, have the further ability to leverage research-oriented funding for such ideas. This session will discuss how to set up a small research-oriented business. The presenter has won several Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants and will show how these awards can be used to seed your innovative ideas. Furthermore, this session will break-down the actions needed to establish a legitimate small business by showing standard business plans based on product sales, patents, licensing/royalties, training, and speaking engagements.
