TIP TROVE | Education for Would-Be Entrepreneurs

1. Not every scientific discovery "deserves" a company. The product must meet a market need rather than be in search of a market.

2. It may be better to license a discovery rather than build a company around it.

3. It's critical to understand that the agenda of those funding a company will drive its strategic direction.

4. Tulips put everything they have into a single flower ... but companies are like roses: multiple products with a lifeline of additional ones to develop.

--G. Steven Burrill, CEO, Burrill and Co., San Francisco
