Samenvatting:

An essential how-to guidebook for building new companies based on deep technology.

Launching from the Lab provides a much-needed framework for new entrepreneurs who are founding companies based on “deep technology”—groundbreaking innovations rising from new discoveries in fundamental research. Lita Nelsen and Maureen Stancik Boyce cover the steps to launch and fund such companies, beginning with emergence from the laboratory and acquiring intellectual property through the intensive research of customer needs, building a team, and raising capital.

Designed to be read and then used chapter by chapter, this book covers every step of the entrepreneur’s journey. From the lab, to the intensive research of customer needs, and through building a team and raising capital, this guidebook covers topics ranging from the importance of patents to forecasting financial data. The authors also include a special section on IP and dealing with tech transfer offices, for founders launching from university laboratories. Whether you’re a first-time entrepreneur or a university researcher ready to commercialize your work, this book is an indispensable companion for turning breakthrough science into real-world impact.
