PhD to FOUNDER

PhD to Founder: Get investor-ready in 6 hours

Master IP protection, customer validation, equity splits, business modeling and funding basics used by leading PhD founders and investors.

PhDs excel in research but face commercialization roadblocks: premature IP disclosure risks patents, solo expertise lacks sales traction, and VCs demand revenue proof over science. Result: stalled ideas and zero funding. Common pitfalls include weak founder teams and overlooked equity negotiations with universities.

WHY “PhD to Founder – Launch your venture from Research”

Our 6-module system delivers investor-ready artifacts: Idea Validation and Fit (Module 1), IP/tech transfer and University Agreements (Module 2), Business Modeling (Module 3), Founding Team and Equity (Module 4), MVP and Experimentation (Module 5), and Founder Roadmap and Operating System (Module 6). Interactive Google Sheets for equity modeling and validation matrices included.

Organized as a high-intensity sprint which delivers actionable results.
