Boot Camp Materials

Several time throughout the year, the Office of Technology Development runs Commercialization Boot Camps for faculty members on the various BU campuses. Materials for these boot camps are posted below, but we recommend attending the events as the best possible way to learn.  Click on the names of our invited speakers to see their personal or company profiles, or simply for more information to get in touch.

Files require a BU Log-in (Kerberos) to access, but are available to the entire Boston University Community.
