Entrepreneurship for scientists

There are many Reasons why scientists are not entrepreneurs, but there are still few cases of successful entrepreneurs. There is a distinction that is often neglected (especially when reflected by professors[@ianuzzi2017Entrepreneurship for Physicists]) that entrepreneurship for a PI is very different than for a PhD or postdoc.

However, it is worth discussing, broadly, several topics, such as:

• Motivation factors for scientific entrepreneurship
• Risks in starting a scientific company
• Technology not addressing a problem
• Market requests for a technology
