what we do
Through partnership with Office of Technology Licensing, we receive a new key piece of Princeton IP/Technology in the life sciences to work on every semester
We conduct a deep dive on the technology and current research to understand the competitive landscape
We assess commercialization pathways, which include clinical trial requirements, potential partnerships, funding requirements and opportunities, and licensing opportunities
At the end of the semester, we provide a deliverable presentation and comprehensive business plan detailing how the business can be formed and the product brought to market
