Take your research beyond the university: UAF offering Lean Launch Workshop - March 12-14, 2018

The Lean Launch Workshop is an intense three-day workshop designed to teach participants how to take university research and other great ideas from concept to commercialization. It is based on the Lean Startup methodology for developing products and companies, and will be led by Steve Weinstein, who teaches a similar course at the University of California-Berkeley and Stanford. Through this workshop, participants will:

• Learn what it really takes to develop a viable product or be part of a startup company.
• Team up with multidisciplinary talent from across the UA system.
• Leave knowing the next steps you need to take on your road to success.
• Take giant leaps forward with your innovation or technology.
• Get connected with the right people and resources.

The workshop is open to all interested members from the UA community, including faculty, staff, and students. The course is limited to 25 participants with priority enrollment offered to individuals who are actively working on commercializing an idea.

Lean Launch Workshop will take place March 12-14 (during spring break) on the Fairbanks campus.
