We’re bringing together successful alumni from UAF’s Center for Innovation\, Commercialization\, and Entrepreneurship to share their journeys to the forefront of Alaska’s business landscape. \nThis is your chance to hear firsthand from those who turned their projects into viable businesses and who expanded their entrepreneurial experiences across Alaska. Our alumni leveraged our programs like **Ideation Studios\, I-Corps\, Student to Startups\, and the Seed Fund** to launch their ventures and expand their capabilities. You’ll hear how they developed their ideas\, found funding\, and overcame challenges unique to the Alaskan market. \nWhether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur\, a current student with a groundbreaking idea\, or a researcher looking to commercialize your work\, this event will provide invaluable insights and networking opportunities. Come learn from those who’ve walked the path and are now building the future of Alaska’s economy. \n  \n### What to Expect:\n– **Panel Discussion:** Hear from a diverse group of our alumni as they discuss their experiences and the role that Center ICE played in their success. We’ll explore their paths from initial concept to market launch.– **Networking:** Connect with fellow innovators\, seasoned entrepreneurs\, and key players in Alaska’s startup ecosystem. This is a great opportunity to build relationships and find potential collaborators or mentors.– **Success Stories:** Get a glimpse into the tangible outcomes of our programs. From initial research to patented products and successful companies\, you’ll see the full lifecycle of an Alaskan innovation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and learn how to turn your own big ideas into a reality. We’ll show you how UAF’s innovation hub is creating real-world solutions and building a stronger Alaska. \n\n\n  \nRoom registration/invitation –>> HERE \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Examples and expert commentators come from B2B SaaS\, but can be generalized to any industry. \nIn session five\, learn how to set your venture apart from the masses by creating a pitch that reflects all the hard work you have put into creating and refining your vision\, your solution\, your strategy\, and your demonstrated understanding of the economic structure of your industry and your company. Gain insights into how the venture process works\, what early investors are really looking for\, and how to avoid damaging rookie mistakes. \nREGISTER and additional information  HERE\n  \nOrganizer\nEliza Jonestraining@norcalsbdc.org707-633-8107 \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
