Whiteboard
Whiteboard is a program designed by The Engine to help faculty members understand and navigate the process of translating academic research out of their labs into Tough Tech startups.
Through a mix of interactive sessions, case studies, and thought leadership, participants will examine the three foundational forms of capital required to build Tough Tech ventures: technology, human, and financial. Led by The Engine team, experienced faculty founders, and guest experts, Whiteboard fosters a unique environment for peer learning and community building among academic entrepreneurs.
This program is ideal for first-time faculty founders as well as seasoned innovators looking to deepen their understanding of company formation and their potential role within it. The day also includes time for reflection, discussion, and informal networking.
