Start Your Tough Tech Journey Here.
Perhaps you’re a technologist curious about commercializing your research into the market. Maybe you’re a scientist who wants to translate your research into real-world impact.
The truth is, to solve our most urgent global challenges — in human health, the energy transition, and beyond — we need more innovators to commercialize their research breakthroughs and launch Tough Tech startups. Many Tough Tech CEO’s 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 your journey, The Engine and Activate Global have compiled Tough Tech Fundamentals: a collection of resources introducing critical competencies and mindsets required to effectively launch a Tough Tech startup. We hope that these resources will help you begin to answer the question: is launching or joining a Tough Tech startup right for me?
