iDesign Seminar: Leslie Mitts on Developing Your Venture's Economic Model for Growth, Profitability, and Competitive Advantage

Dr. Leslie Mitts is CEO of the Education Design Studio, Inc., a University of Pennsylvania-affiliated fund that sources and syndicates education technology deals in order to accelerate innovation in K-12 education. 

“In this session we will help you clarify your business model and help you develop financial projections based on expected costs and revenues, and identify the key assumptions that underlie both. If you are ready to think about funding, we will help you match projected costs and revenue to cash required, milestones, and valuation.”

The $50,000 iDesign Prize supports a Penn student team in launching an innovative product design venture after graduation. The award is made to an innovative physical product that solves a real problem in the world and is supported by a holistic design, engineering and business plan. Submissions are due March 31, 2017.
