The Scientific Method for Getting Technology
to Market
Great technologies don't automatically attract
users and thrive in the real world. Successful entrepreneur and professor Steve
Blank will show how hypothesis-driven discovery and experimentation can turn
your innovations into successful products with societal impact. Learn how to
hone in on the true value of your technology through early and effective
engagement with customers, and see why Silicon Valley startups, corporations
like GE, and the National Science Foundation have adopted this methodology to
advance their leading innovations.
Steve Blank, Entrepreneur

Demystifying Money: The Many Sources of
Capital
Taking technology to the next level means
navigating a confusing range of financing options: venture capital, angel
investors, government grants, bank loans, and much more. Lux Research founder
and venture investor, Matthew Nordan will explain the different types of
capital available to early stage technologists, what each looks for to make an
investment decision, and what they want in return.
Matthew Nordan, Venrock, Vice President
3:10 - 4:00 PM EST
Beyond the "Back of the Envelope"
Intuition and curiosity are a research
scientist’s most powerful tools, but relying on instinct can be detrimental to
moving a practical technology toward the market. Any successful technology
project must correctly evaluate cost and performance tradeoffs, and it is never
too early to start. A123 and 24M Founder Yet-Ming Chiang will share the wisdom
he has gained on how to best use system modeling to successfully take
technologies from lab to market.
Ryan Boas, 24M Technologies, Inc., Vice
President, Business Development
Yet-Ming Chiang, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Kyocera Professor, Department of Materials Science &
Engineering

Rules of Engagement
Developing world-changing technologies and
products requires active engagement with your market every step of the way, but
it’s not always easy to figure out who exactly you should be meeting with, how

sessions offer perspectives directly from industry representatives on how to
best engage with them and successfully navigate key energy markets.
