WHAT IS ADVANCED INVENTION TO VENTURE (AI2V)? 

AI2V is a highly acclaimed, four-day intensive workshop that provides instruction, exercises, pitching and coaching, complete with real-time feedback from coaches and investors.  The in-class time is followed by 6-8 weeks of homework and exercises, monitored by an assigned coach. The end result is a fifteen-minute investor pitch and commercialization plan fundamentals to back it up.  Exceptional teams may have the opportunity to present a longer pitch to a panel of investors and other experts.

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.
