WPI Venture Forum (Tue, Oct 14)
5:30 PM-8:30 PM, WPI: Campus Center, WPI Campus Center, Odeum Room, 3rd Floor, 100 Institute Road, Worcester, MA
From Vision to Mission Keynote speaker: Ken Rapp Budding entrepreneurs often ask how to take the initial inklings of an idea for the “next big thing” and transform it into a successful business with a commercially viable product or service. Given all the obstacles to overcome and multiple hats an entrepreneur must wear, it is remarkable that companies successfully navigate the path to success. How to develop and refine the business idea? Conduct market research and business planning? Obtain competent legal, accounting or other professional services? Protect intellectual property assets? Hire employees and building a management or advisory team? Answering many of these questions will be Ken Rapp, keynote presenter for the October 14 WPI Venture Forum meeting. Founder, President and CEO of VelQuest Corporation, based in Hopkinton, Rapp will explain how he identified a major bottleneck in the pharmaceutical industry that delayed the process of bringing new medicines to market, and how he successfully built a company and products that offer innovative solutions to the problem. Case Presentation Vigix, Inc.: Steve Pytka '68 and Eduardo Alvarez Cambridge-based Vigix has developed an advanced kiosk technology platform that offers distributors of movies, music and other entertainment content a highly efficient and direct consumer channel. Visually appealing, the kiosks feature a large touch screen with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. With a footprint of only two square feet, the kiosks can be placed almost anywhere, including desirable high-traffic areas in retail stores or other locations.
