Start Your Tough Tech Journey Here.
Perhaps you’re a technologist curious about commercializing your research. Or a scientist looking to translate discoveries into real-world impact.
To solve our most urgent global challenges, in human health, the energy transition, and beyond, we need more innovators to commercialize breakthrough technologies into Tough Tech startups. Many Tough Tech founders have a PhD in science or engineering, but most will begin their entrepreneurial journey with little-to-no business experience. Everybody has to start somewhere.
To help jumpstart this journey, The Engine and Activate Global have compiled Tough Tech Fundamentals: a collection of resources introducing the critical competencies and mindsets required to launch a Tough Tech startup. We hope these resources help you begin to answer the question: is launching or joining a Tough Tech startup right for me?
