WHAT IS ADVANCED INVENTION TO VENTURE (AI2V) AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY?

AI2V is a highly acclaimed, four-day intensive workshop that provides instruction, exercises, pitching and coaching, complete with real-time feedback from Baylor Faculty coaches and experienced entrepreneurs and investors from the Waco region, but you do NOT have to be from the area to attend, the workshop is open to any and all technology entrepreneurs!

 

After the workshop teams may elect to continue the course work with 6-8 weeks of additional homework and exercises one-on-one with an assigned coach. 

 

In addition your team can apply to have Instructor Dr. Greg Leman's student teams assist with your ongoing idea story development through the Baylor class "Technology Entrepreneurship", from January through April. The end result is a compelling fifteen-minute investor pitch and a fully validated written business / commercialization plan to back it up.

 

SHOULD I ATTEND?

If you have a technology with commercial potential, and you're serious about seeing this potential realized, then AI2V is right for you. 

The workshop is open to the founders of technology start ups, including student and faculty-led teams, interested in advancing their technology down the commercialization path.

 

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? 

AI2V is an intense four days--expect to work hard, do after-hours homework and answer hard questions about your venture.  On the last day you will present a strategic business plan to a group of friendly investors and experts, who will provide gentle feedback and advice.
