URVentures Intellectual Property and Commercializing Technology Lecture Series

Risk assessment for technology investments

This session will focus upon the thought process investors go through when evaluating an opportunity for investment in a technology. Scientific risk, technology risk, market risk, regulatory risk, etc. will be discussed. Through this understanding, we will be better prepared when approaching investors and may tailor our experiments and activities to minimize these risks.
