The Springboard Experience... Launching Technology Through
Entrepreneurship
Springboard provides free assistance for life sciences & high tech companies in
all stages of development, including concept, start-up, challenge and
opportunity. Entrepreneurs accepted into the program spend 3 to 8 weeks in
coaching sessions with one of CONNECT's Entrepreneurs in Residence. Upon
completion of this process, the entrepreneur is invited to make a presentation
of their business model to a select group of experts. This group will usually
include a venture capitalist, seasoned entrepreneur with domain expertise,
accountant, corporate and patent attorneys, marketing professional, and an
executive from a successful company in the same industry. Experts will also be
drawn from insurance, real estate, human resources, and other areas as needed.
The panel of experts is tailored to the individual needs of each company. The
goals of the panel presentation are to provide the entrepreneur with candid
recommendations for the refinement of their business plan and to help identify
next steps to achieve the company’s goals. Following the panel presentation,
the entrepreneur meets with their Entrepreneur in Residence to identify next
steps, incorporate the feedback from the panel, and implement a strategic plan
for the next six to twelve months.
