Tech Originator Practicum Application

The Tech Originator Practicum (TOP) aims to inspire and prepare STEAM graduate students and postdocs for creating technology ventures and pursuing corporate entrepreneurship. It covers the foundational steps necessary for technology originators to commercialize their inventions based on proven processes used by successful entrepreneurs by addressing these fundamental questions: Does a business idea have the potential to become a successful business?  How to discover potential customers’ needs and desires? How to start a new venture with limited resources? How to craft a successful business pitch? The ultimate outcomes for this workshop are to increase the awareness, excitement, and confidence of participants about pursuing careers as technology entrepreneurs.

This program requires the commitment for a two-day kickoff event and three monthly meetings during the Winter and Spring semesters. The incoming two-day kickoff event will take place between 9:30am-2:30pm on 1/18/2023 and 1/19/2023. It is jointly offered by the GENESIS Center and Innovation Center of Stony Brook University. The workshop is sponsored by Empire State Development's Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) programs.
