The People
The volunteer consultants working with the SU Program are students and professionals motived by their desire to learn about business and the start-up process.  Many of us have advanced degrees and some have start-up experience.  Our goal is to fuel the development of life science technologies in an entrepreneurial setting.

To inquire about becoming an SU consultant, contact the Start-Up Program Director. Prior to joining the SU Program, all candidates will be asked to make a contribution to the SU Program, probably in the form of a researched report about some aspect of starting a biotechnology company.  No experience necessary. Initiative and commitment are absolute requirements.
