“How to Start” is an area of Emory OTT’s website that explores some of the fundamentals of launching a startup. The area has four components:
- Seven-day Kauffman FastTrac TechVenture course. Offered once a year, the facilitated course spans seven weeks and touches on a wide range of topics related to planning and starting a company.
- Tips on how to recognize a good start-up opportunity. A few are provided, and Emory OTT offers to help with your evaluation.
- Conflict of interest determination. A brief write-up on “Obtaining approvals” references that Emory has policies and procedures to follow when starting a company. This area links to procedures for assessing whether your idea or plan faces conflicts of interest.
- Developing a business plan. A short section serves as a gateway to other Emory OTT resources on how to develop a plan for your business.
