Students were introduced to a diverse network of future academic collaborators, industrial partners, entrepreneurial mentors, and fellow entrepreneurs. This network will likely have a far greater impact on their success than any one individual technique ever could. Still, overall, the students reported less satisfaction, or perceived personal relevance, with the translational discussions. To connect better with the participants, we intend to invite to speak, and/or hold a round table with, actual graduates who went on to translate their research into a business.
