Notas do Editor

  1. Hi-speed internet, mentorship, office space, etc. Conference Rooms 3-D Printers Scanners and Copiers The primary purpose of our organization is to support the successful development of entrepreneurial companies by matching innovation, education, mentorship, and investments with aspiring entrepreneurs.
  2. Biz Foundry partnered with TN Tech to offer a summer engineering/entrepreneurship course based on the teachings of Steve Blank. We use the Lean Launchpad software and the Business Model Canvas becomes the roadmap for the duration of the course.
  3. The goal for this course is to help take the student’s idea from purely an innovative technology (that they think everyone in the world will buy) to actually having a Minimal Viable Product that was developed by data gathered from potential customers. Once they have gone and researched their potential customer archetypes, the course begins to define specifically how to develop and maintain customer relationships, distribution channels, revenue streams, partners, etc. Towards the end of the course, each team of students should be able to decide whether or not they have the potential for a repeatable and scalable business venture.
  4. Students from any discipline are encouraged to take this course. We have mechanical, chemical, and civil engineers, business majors, and computer science majors. The course makes the students go out into the community and talk to business owners, gainfully employed individuals, gatekeepers, and everyone in between. After the students gather some research about what potential customers really want, they give a presentation to a panel of “judges” who offer advice and direction. Each week a business professional comes to speak and talk about their experience starting a company. Micah Johnson, Todd Gregory, William Klauss, Kent “lawyer”
  5. OmniNexus Winning team from Eagleworks competition Graphing calculator on smart phone Real time analytics provided to teacher Formative assessment much easier with this app iGT-HD Invited to Chicago to tryout MVP M-possible N-gineering Looking to target CA and western U.S.
