We had a day-long, hands-on workshop, where a group of 40 attendees learned about the basics of idea commercialization from Mike Cohen from UC BErkeley's Office of Technology Licensing, Drew Isaacs, Professor of business at the Haas School of Business and John Elstrott, Entrepreneur and Professor of Entrepreneurship at Tulane University. The participants then formed into teams, that worked with a group of mentors on polishing and perfecting a set of startup ideas, ending with a pitch session and critical Q&A from potential funders. The best part? The startup ideas were all contributed by the participants themselves! Presentations: Here are Peter Fiske's slides from the event.
