A panel discussion, "I've seen a lot of early-stage ventures and I can see what's tough" (session partner: Liberness Capital Co., Ltd.) will be held during the 10th Annual Conference of the Society for Transdisciplinary Research, hosted by Liberness (March 5-6, 2021 (Friday and Saturday)).
Establishing a venture is a daunting task in itself, but when it comes to researchers establishing a company, the amount and height of the barriers are immeasurable.
However, what you have experienced and felt in the process was most likely experienced and felt by other managers as well.
Since the Tech Planter was launched in 2014, Liberace Liberace Capital has supported more than 3,000 technology ventures and teams aiming to launch them, both domestic and international. We challenge you to analyze and synthesize them.
We will be joined by the founders of two R&D-oriented ventures, and will also present some of the results of our analysis of case studies collected through a preliminary questionnaire.
We will have a program of discussions among researchers, start-ups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are now accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).
