Entrepreneurship and Commercialization of Technology

This course will combine the study of entrepreneurship with the commercialization of CUNY-based science technologies to create new businesses. Students will be guided through a series of activities that include interacting with owners and creators of CUNY patents or patentable technologies. Students will work in teams that they self-select with the approval of the instructor based on a specific technology. Teams will collaborate to develop a new business idea that solves a public problem through the use of that selected technology. Students will also pitch to and survey prospective customers, suppliers, and investors to validate their newly proposed business models. By the end of the course, each team petitions the owner(s) of a selected technology to secure its use.
