Every great company starts as an idea, but not every idea becomes a company. Especially those from academic institutions.

This event is built for academic researchers and founders to understand what “venture readiness” really means and how to translate discoveries into startups that investors take seriously.

EI Consulting is partnering with various innovation resources and ecosystem leaders across the Capital Region and broader NY to discuss:
🔹 How to move from research to commercialization
🔹 What it takes to become fundable
🔹 Lessons from founders who’ve done it
🔹 The resources that can help you take the next step

This won’t be just another panel, this will be a real ecosystem-driven conversation about how we can turn student/researcher ideas into impact with opportunities to meet the folks who help make it happen.
