Veterans directly engage with customers to test the validity of their business model, while interacting with mentors that can help interpret what the startup is hearing from potential customers. Victory Spark (the full Vetransfer Program) was founded by grant funding from the Federal the Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Innovation and continues today from financial support from the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs and our awesome sponsors!</span></span></span>

In order to compete in the economy of the 21st century, successful engineers and business leaders must not only understand technology, but they must also understand the process of bringing ideas to market. Innovation is the process of developing ideas and bringing those ideas to market. This course covers the basics of innovation and commercialization – the process of moving concepts from the idea stage to successful products and services in the marketplace. This course will draw on “lean launch” methodologies used in early-stage business formation (including the business model canvas, the customer discovery process and rapid iteration around a minimum viable product – MVP), and it will offer a taste of “design thinking”. In addition, this course will develop specific content areas and skills useful in engineering and technology ventures for both early stage and later stage businesses including intellectual property, venture finance, and financial modeling. The skills developed in this course are intended to be valuable to an individual launching their own business as well as to individuals who want to excel in existing enterprises large and small.
