Farley-Q Bootcamp - Day 1 of 2
Off-Campus -
The Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovations and The Querrey InQbation Lab are offering a unique two-day workshop for Northwestern research scientists interested in exploring entrepreneurship. The focus of the two days will be to expose participants to what entrepreneurship looks like at both a general and more practical level.
This bootcamp will be focused on Healthcare and will take place from February 20-21, 2025 at the Querrey InQbation Lab (1801 Maple, Evanston, IL).
Scientists will hear from panels consisting of entrepreneurial faculty and of former PhD students and researchers who became founders of startups. Participants will learn how to think about their own research with a translational lens and, through live workshops, mock customer discovery, and collaborative brainstorming, be able to distill and communicate their technology, the value of it and the impact of it as a potential commercial product. If accepted, full participation on both days will be required.
Even if entrepreneurship is not your end goal, we encourage you to consider the program as it will equip you to effectively communicate your thesis, collaborate within teams, and pursue your independent career with confidence.
Day 1 - Bootcamp Topics
- Selecting the Right Market for Your Technology
- Developing Product Market Fit & Business Models for Your Research
- Customer Discovery & Development
- The Art of Networking: An Overview of Tactical Best Practices
Eligibility
- Research scientists (PhDs, MDs, and PostDocs) are encouraged to participate.
- A Letter of support from your PI will be required upon acceptance into the program.
- Must be available to attend both dates of bootcamp (Thu., February 20 and Fri., February 21)
The deadline to apply is Friday, January 10, 2025 at 5:00 PM CT.
