<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Dear CCE Faculty:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>It is my pleasure to invite you to
the 2010 Entrepreneur Boot Camp hosted by the Cullen College of
Engineering. Scheduled for September 21, the Boot Camp is designed to be
the starting point of creating an “Innovation Ecosystem” at the college and
university that will become a model for innovation and entrepreneurship to
enable commercial activity and framework to drive research dollars into the
academic departments. The focus of the event is to inform faculty and
furnish them with a commercialization “tool box.” Boot Camp presenters
include successful entrepreneurs and investors, who will deliver a <i>Houston-ized</i>
Silicon Valley perspective on company formation and funding. The day
begins at 8:00 a.m. in the Houston Room at the University Center, University of
Houston.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The Boot Camp is an intensive day
of presentations and comments from experts in tech transfer, the Houston
venture community, an “intellectual property primer,” update on the Texas
Emerging Technology Fund, where the “academic” begins, and how to build a
successful business. The results of the survey of engineering faculty will be
shared. Faculty will also have an opportunity to meet and discuss their
business concepts and ideas with Boot Camp coaches Jeff Warren and Julie
Goonewardene. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Faculty, including junior faculty,
from the Cullen College of Engineering are strongly encouraged to attend all or
part of this event. Engineering research staff and students are also
invited. Faculty from other colleges are welcome to attend space
permitting. Lunch will be provided. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
