Pre-Seed Workshop
Syracuse Technology Garden, Syracuse
MedTech, together with the Syracuse Technology Garden, is hosting a Pre-Seed Workshop for budding entrepreneurs. The Pre-seed Workshop (PSW) is a systematic process to help scientists and researchers evaluate the commercialization potential of an invention. Through the PSW, participants receive essential input from the venture capital and business communities that will assist them with launching a start-up company. PSW is designed to take a raw idea from a university lab or company and investigate its marketplace viability using a preliminary commercialization plan that is developed during the workshop. PSW also includes activities to help researchers decide if the idea should move forward. Organizations interested in fielding teams or contributing business expertise for future workshops throughout Upstate New York, are encouraged to contact Heather Erickson.
