INTRODUCTION:
For nearly a decade HIC has offered aspiring scientists and physicians education and hands-on training for translating innovative research into meaningful commercial opportunity. We have developed a network of 100+ lecturers and mentors who lend subject matter expertise reaching over 700 students since inception. Our past participants have gone on to begin careers as startup CEOs, venture capitalists, and consultants in the healthcare, pharma, and biotechnology sectors. Weekly modules address various aspects of the commercialization process, such as intellectual property, market sizing, and FDA regulation. Students are also assigned a team project to develop a business pitch for a Harvard OTD-based technology. The course culminates in live business plan pitches to real investors. HIC is made possible by our generous sponsors Goodwin Procter and Putnam Associates.
