TechPoint Fellows—Opportunity
for Graduate Students
We are starting a TechPoint Fellow role, where we would
employ a few masters/PhD students at TechPoint to work on specific topics while they continue their studies. We contemplate a year or two paid commitment, working 15-20 hours per week, where the student does applied research and strategy development work with
us aligned to TechPoint's focus areas of workforce growth, entrepreneurship and startup/scale-up growth, as well as technology specialization. We are quickly crafting the program and seeking recommendations from faculty for students we should interview.
In the entrepreneurship/startup/scale-up focus area,
we'll be unpacking questions like: Does Indiana need more startups or for more startups to scale-up to market leaders with hundreds or thousands of employees? What are the primary impediments (capital, ideas, culture, ambition, talent)? What could be done
to increase tech entrepreneurship/startup or scale-up growth rates?
In tech specialization, we'll be investigating areas
where national megatrends and technology developments could be aligned to Indiana economic assets and university R&D/commercialization strengths. Those could be areas where Indiana could "plant a flag" to focus and accelerate R&D, startup activity, talent
development, etc. Essentially, where could Indiana or regions in Indiana become the next "Capital of ___".
If you are interested in a role like this, let me (Tammy)
know and I will be happy to pass your resume/CV along.
