How to Write an Effective Technology Overview and Value Proposition: Webcast Guidance for Tech Transfer and Startups

So what are they?
The Technology Overview
Fuentek has found that an effective technology overview includes:
- A description of the technology
- Its potential benefits
- Its potential applications
These are the characteristics that the market will be most interested in and that will factor into industry experts’ opinions of the technology’s commercial potential.
Since we discuss Technology Overviews in our webinar, Pitching for Innovators: Communicate at the Right Level for Any Audience, we’ve created a 4-minute webcast on “Effective Technology Overviews.”
The Value Proposition
The technology overview is the starting point for creating a well-defined value proposition — that is, a single sentence that incorporates the product that uses the technology, indicating the tangible results to that product’s customers and showing indisputable market leadership within a given target segment.
I think the best way to consistently write a strong value proposition is to follow this equation:
For [target customers] + who are dissatisfied with [the current market alternative/pain], + this technology/product/service is [description] + that provides [key problem-solving benefits].
Following this formula ensures you zero in on the details that are most important to the potential licensee, collaborator/partner, investor, or customer, helping achieve your goals for the tech transfer or startup effort.
