'''Course Description:'''<br />
<br />
This course will empower students to take their innovations and marketing plans to the next level and implement them into a viable and fundable enterprise. Students will create a prototype to be presented as a proof-of- concept with a compelling presentation to an angel investor. In addition students will be introduced to issues related to the patent process and angel investment process as it relates to their innovations.<br />
<br />
'''Learning Objectives:'''<br />
<br />
1. Design a proof-of-concept prototype for the product or service. <br />
<br />
2. Develop value proposition, executive summary and elevator pitch to sell the essence of innovation. <br />
<br />
3. Write a launch strategy that can create brand awareness in the marketplace. <br />
<br />
4. Examine angel-funding sources at early stages, typical formats for angel investments and roles of the angel investor. <br />
<br />
5. Develop realistic budget, estimate of expenses, timing, margins and manufacturing costs. <br />
<br />
6. Create a compelling presentation that generates interest for an angel investor and proves the worthiness of business model. <br />
<br />
7. Acquire a basic understanding of the patent process as it relates to filing a patent, intellectual property, and patent claims. <br />
<br />
8. Develop an organizational binder that demonstrates student’s weekly progress <br />
<br />
9. Students will write a weekly critical analysis on their progress that includes ethnography, research, ideation and marketing strategy. These weekly results will be a type written presentation presented weekly and represented in an organized binder to the instructor. <br />
<br />
'''Grading:'''<br />
<br />
A = 90%-100% <br />
<br />
B = 80%-89%<br />
<br />
C = 70%-79% <br />
<br />
D = 60%-69% <br />
<br />
F = 59% or Below<br />
<br />
In addition to the major project, students final grade will also be based on critique participation and application, work ethic, and attitude. These specifications are applied with the following percentages<br />
<br />
10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quality and effort on proof of concept prototype..............................50.0% <br />
<br />
11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Binder development and critical analysis papers............................. 15.0% <br />
<br />
12. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Presentation to investors...................................................................15.0% <br />
<br />
13. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9 case studies.....................................................................................10.0% <br />
<br />
14. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Attitude and participation…………………………...……………...10.0% <br />
<br />
'''Academic Integrity:'''<br />
<br />
In the process of conducting scientific work an attitude of trust and honesty is essential for all participants. In the physics department we have an honor code. We expect you to behave honorably in all aspects of your life. This means that we trust you. For example, you are free to leave the room during a test without asking me. We take our honor code very seriously, so a breach of this trust has severe consequences. Cheating – in any form – is grounds for dismissal from the course with a grade of F. More significantly, cheating would damage the trust I have in you. Don’t jeopardize this trust. Keep in mind that I respect the effort you put into the class, regardless of your grade. When working on homework I expect you to communicate with each other, but all tests are to be conducted entirely on your own.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
''Over the years, you will probably forget much of what you learn in this class, and the grades you receive will not be as important in the future as they seem to be now. However, the character you forge will be with you forever.''<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
All students are expected understand and follow the University of St. Thomas policies on Academic Integrity. These are described at: [http://www.stthomas.edu/policies/student_policy_book/ http://www.stthomas.edu/policies/student_policy_book/] Academic_rights_and_procedures.asp<br />
<br />
'''Students with Disabilities:'''<br />
<br />
Academic accommodations will be provided for qualified students with documented disabilities including but not limited to mental health diagnoses, learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, chronic medical conditions, visual, mobility, and hearing disabilities. Students are invited to contact the Disability Resources office about accommodations early in the semester. Appointments can be made by calling 651-962-6315 or in person in Murray Herrick, room 110. For further information, you can locate the Disability Resources office on the web at [http://www.stthomas.edu/enhancementprog/.&nbsp http://www.stthomas.edu/enhancementprog/.&amp;nbsp];<br />

<hr />
<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<div>When selecting a startup incubator to attend or create, the most important thing is considering what are the most desirable outcomes from the incubator. For those pursuing a biomedical company, for example, lab space may be the most important thing - while for those creating a social media app, large quantities of people and eyes to test out the prototype and give feedback might be more important.</div><div><br/></div><div>[[File:Business Incubator - Word Collage.jpg|center|Business Incubator - Word Collage.jpg]]<br/></div><br />
== <br/>Need and Goal ==<br />
<div><br />
a) When selecting a startup incubator to attend or create, the most important thing is considering what are the most desirable outcomes from the incubator. For those pursuing a biomedical company, for example, lab space may be the most important thing - while for those creating a social media app, large quantities of people and eyes to test out the prototype and give feedback might be more important.<br />
</div><div>b) The goal is to not only discover an incubator that mimics and supports what you want your company to be, but to also choose an incubator based on the network that it presents. If you are looking to build a large network, it might be useful to look for incubators in larger cities with larger networks surrounding it. Location itself is not something you should rank high in the list of things you need to consider when choosing an incubator, but it definitely does come into play when considering the network you want to build for your company.</div><br />
== <br/>Potential Unexpected<br/> ==<br />
<div>Either way, any incubator will bring valuable experience, as unexpected relationships will form, and unplanned goals will be met out of serendipity, as long as you are open to them. The most efficient way to use your time is to pick an incubator which will have the most opportunities for the types of relationships/resources you are chasing.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== Network (Who You Want to be Connected With) ==<br />
<br />
a) Reach out as early as possible to individuals you respect and aspire to be like. &nbsp;The earlier you reach out the more time these relationships have to grow and develop. &nbsp;Mentorships can often form, giving you support and guidance when brainstorming, planning, and launching your start-ups. &nbsp;These connections can also be extremely useful when trying to secure a business incubator. &nbsp;Connecting with a business incubator or accelerator through a mutually known individual can create a friendlier initial interaction and increase your chances of being selected. Either way, never be afraid to ask someone to coffee, ask for help, or to update someone on your process.<br />
<br />
b) The University Innovation Fellows network is one of the greatest tools available to us. &nbsp;Once we are accepted into the program we will connect and form relationships with some of the most engaged and creative young minds around the country. &nbsp;When Elliot traveled to Cork, Ireland with Indiebio to quick start Spira he took two other fellows with him as team members. &nbsp;Allow UIF to open your horizons to different individuals and ways of thinking, and truly use the community to its full potential.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Team Members (What Sorts of People You are Looking For)<br/> ==<br />
<br />
'''a) Based on Skills/Weaknesses'''<br />
<br />
'''&nbsp;'''Within a&nbsp;business, it is important to have individuals with varying and diverse skill sets. What is one person’s weakness is most likely another’s [[File:Business Incubator - Spira Drink.jpg|thumb|Business Incubator - Spira Drink.jpg]]strength. &nbsp;Elliot himself stated that he is more of the creative mind but lacks in organizational and communicative skills. He has planned for a diverse team, and found a cofounder at Spira, to fill in these gaps. &nbsp;The company benefits from everyone’s talents. &nbsp;Additionally, if the individual has well-developed technical skills, and is an expert in some field, it is much easier to teach them how to sell then to teach someone who knows how to sell the desired technical skills.<br />
<br />
'''b) Based on Your Needs as a Company'''<br />
<br />
If your company already has a creative leader (like Elliot) but not people who can implement those creative ideas into physical designs, or someone [[File:Business Incubator - Spira.png|thumb]]who can organize, you need to find those people as well. This goes hand-in-hand with strengths and weaknesses, but you do need to find others that can not only complete your personality in the workfield, but also get the tasks done based on their skill set.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''c) Based on Fits (How to Vet People)'''<br />
<br />
Do a small task with them whether it be a little engineering project, a small part of something to do with the startup, or just going and playing video games together to see how they work with you, and to predict what future interactions will be like. The most common reason why startups fail is because of issues with the people working for them. &nbsp;Therefore choose your teammates wisely and make sure they have similar goals in mind.<br />
<br />
--This can become tricky when money and financial aspects come into play. It is essential to have team members sign an agreement, and all be on the same page, before the business or product takes off.<br />
<p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Business Incubator - Teamwork.jpg]]</p><br />
== Risk and Reward <span style="font-size:smaller;">(cost, equity, money, time vs payoff, networks, funding, prototyping material, experience)</span> ==<br />
<br />
a) Technically, it will not cost you money to reach out to businesses in hopes they could be your incubator. However, in order for them to be swayed to accept, sometimes there is money involved. “Give before you receive” is a phrase Elliot stood by, and it basically means to find what that business wants or needs, and make an offer to help them get these things in hopes that this gesture will make them want to give to you in return. This could be as simple as designing something for them with your own resources, or as extensive as flying them out to run a 5K in your state (yes, Elliot did offer to do that). However, this money will be nothing compared to the experience you gain, and hopefully the profit you make from starting up your company.<br />
<div>b) Timewise, this might take a while. It could take weeks to months before convincing a company that your product is worth the investment. Elliot aimed for 3 main incubators and accelerators when working on his company Spira. Once securing an incubator the process of invention and testing begins almost immediately. Once you are in an accelerator program, all day everyday is spent on the product. There is a lot of time put into this, but it is worth it once you find the right incubator for your business.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== Support <span style="font-size:smaller;">(students, faculty, staff needed to facilitate prior to and during the event)</span> ==<br />
<br />
Support is so important when developing a new business or idea. Something that Elliot struggled with was the lack of support from the faculty at his university. He had to combat this with support from his friends and his motivation to get things done. In one situation he was trying to make a product with a fellow student and it didn’t work out because the support between the student and Elliot was not there. Overall, to have a successful event you need the support of students, faculty, and staff.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Lessons learned and tips for others <span style="font-size:smaller;">(what worked and what didn’t, and your recommendations for others)</span><br/> ==<br />
<br />
a) The innovators and entrepreneurs who are making changes in the world are constantly asking questions. &nbsp;They identify problems or areas that need improvement, ask themselves why they are the way that they are, and brainstorm a way to improve. &nbsp;Therefore, a key piece of advice is to be curious. Look at the world around you as it truly is and ask questions. &nbsp;Don’t settle for the status quo - instead challenge it to be better.<br />
<br />
b)&nbsp;Failure is not a setback but should, instead, be seen as an opportunity. &nbsp;From failure you find out what works and what areas need improvement. You learn about yourself and your company and are able to grow from these problems.<br />
<br />
c) Never view rejection as a negative. If you believe in your product and company, and believe that it is the right thing to do, then continue with as much, if not more, momentum than before. Rejection is inevitable. &nbsp;However, rejection should also teach you that when given an opportunity you cannot waste it. &nbsp;Use that opportunity to its maximum and execute. &nbsp;Prove to the people that saw potential that they were not wrong to have faith in your product. &nbsp;Illustrate that the team is passionate and has the work ethic to succeed.<br />

<div>When selecting a startup incubator to attend or create, the most important thing is considering what are the most desirable outcomes from the incubator. For those pursuing a biomedical company, for example, lab space may be the most important thing - while for those creating a social media app, large quantities of people and eyes to test out the prototype and give feedback might be more important.</div><br />
<br />
== <br/>Need and Goal ==<br />
<div><br />
a) When selecting a startup incubator to attend or create, the most important thing is considering what are the most desirable outcomes from the incubator. For those pursuing a biomedical company, for example, lab space may be the most important thing - while for those creating a social media app, large quantities of people and eyes to test out the prototype and give feedback might be more important.<br />
</div><div>b) The goal is to not only discover an incubator that mimics and supports what you want your company to be, but to also choose an incubator based on the network that it presents. If you are looking to build a large network, it might be useful to look for incubators in larger cities with larger networks surrounding it. Location itself is not something you should rank high in the list of things you need to consider when choosing an incubator, but it definitely does come into play when considering the network you want to build for your company.</div><br />
== <br/>Potential Unexpected<br/> ==<br />
<div>Either way, any incubator will bring valuable experience, as unexpected relationships will form, and unplanned goals will be met out of serendipity, as long as you are open to them. The most efficient way to use your time is to pick an incubator which will have the most opportunities for the types of relationships/resources you are chasing.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== Network (Who You Want to be Connected With) ==<br />
<br />
a) Reach out as early as possible to individuals you respect and aspire to be like. &nbsp;The earlier you reach out the more time these relationships have to grow and develop. &nbsp;Mentorships can often form, giving you support and guidance when brainstorming, planning, and launching your start-ups. &nbsp;These connections can also be extremely useful when trying to secure a business incubator. &nbsp;Connecting with a business incubator or accelerator through a mutually known individual can create a friendlier initial interaction and increase your chances of being selected. Either way, never be afraid to ask someone to coffee, ask for help, or to update someone on your process.<br />
<br />
b) The University Innovation Fellows network is one of the greatest tools available to us. &nbsp;Once we are accepted into the program we will connect and form relationships with some of the most engaged and creative young minds around the country. &nbsp;When Elliot traveled to Cork, Ireland with Indiebio to quick start Spira he took two other fellows with him as team members. &nbsp;Allow UIF to open your horizons to different individuals and ways of thinking, and truly use the community to its full potential.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Team Members (What Sorts of People You are Looking For)<br/> ==<br />
<br />
== '''a) Based on Skills/Weaknesses''' ==<br />
<br />
'''&nbsp;'''Within a&nbsp;business, it is important to have individuals with varying and diverse skill sets. What is one person’s weakness is most likely another’s strength. &nbsp;Elliot himself stated that he is more of the creative mind but lacks in organizational and communicative skills. He has planned for a diverse team, and found a cofounder at Spira, to fill in these gaps. &nbsp;The company benefits from everyone’s talents. &nbsp;Additionally, if the individual has well-developed technical skills, and is an expert in some field, it is much easier to teach them how to sell then to teach someone who knows how to sell the desired technical skills.<br />
<br />
'''b) Based on Your Needs as a Company'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If your company already has a creative leader (like Elliot) but not people who can implement those creative ideas into physical designs, or someone who can organize, you need to find those people as well. This goes hand-in-hand with strengths and weaknesses, but you do need to find others that can not only complete your personality in the workfield, but also get the tasks done based on their skill set.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''c) Based on Fits (How to Vet People)'''<br />
<br />
Do a small task with them whether it be a little engineering project, a small part of something to do with the startup, or just going and playing video games together to see how they work with you, and to predict what future interactions will be like. The most common reason why startups fail is because of issues with the people working for them. &nbsp;Therefore choose your teammates wisely and make sure they have similar goals in mind.<br />
<br />
--This can become tricky when money and financial aspects come into play. It is essential to have team members sign an agreement, and all be on the same &nbsp; &nbsp;page, before the business or product takes off.<br />

Whether it'd be&nbsp;lessening the negative stigma around women in[[File:Phuschka.jpg|thumb]] technology&nbsp;or&nbsp;creating devices that can save other's lives or even innovating technology that can help save our planet, she wants to use her future knowledge to do something that matters in the world, not even for her, but for everyone and everything else. Alongside her education, she is also conducting research by developing and teaching an educational program that introduces the world of coding and music to girls ages 12 through 18 by using resources like Scratch, Makey-Makey, and LittleBits. It is her hope that because of this program, these young women will get more excited about STEM and all of its limitless possibilities. Besides engineering and research, Paige is an avid fan of music and participates in choir and musical theater outside of her education.<br />

Paige is a first-year college student pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. Whether it'd be&nbsp;lessening the negative stigma around women inhttp://universityinnovation.org/extensions/WYSIWYG/ckeditor/skins/kama/images/noimage.png?t=B49E5BQ technology&nbsp;or&nbsp;creating devices that can save other's lives or even innovating technology that can help save our planet, she wants to use her future knowledge to do something that matters in the world, not even for her, but for everyone and everything else. She is passionate about the world and the things living in it, and she wants to do anything in my power to better these things that come across my plate. Next to engineering, another big part of her life is music, and she participates in choir and musical theater at school. She is also designing and teaching a program that explains coding and how it can be incorporated into music to young women, hopefully getting them more excited about STEM and its limitless possibilities.<br />
