DTIL 2026 Interim Night Presentation
Our interdisciplinary graduate student teams (Haas, Engineering, and Law) have spent the semester conducting rigorous commercialization analyses on deep tech innovation projects from corporate labs and startups. Your industry expertise is critical to pressure-testing their assumptions before they finalize their strategic roadmaps.
Event Details
Date: Monday, October 19, 2026
Time: 6 PM – 9:30 PM
Location: Chou Hall, Room N500, Haas School of Business (https://haas.berkeley.edu/room/n500/)
Your Role as an Expert Panelist
This is an analysis exercise, not a pitch session. Each team will deliver a 7-minute analysis focused on market entry barriers, technology strategy, and IP/regulatory uncertainties, followed by an 8-minute Q&A.
We ask that you:
Pressure-test their technology and core market assumptions.
Suggest resources analogous technologies, relevant market reports, white papers, or specific network connections for stakeholder discovery.
Offer perspectives on parallel industry dynamics that the teams may have overlooked.
Please RSVP at your earliest convenience.
We look forward to your participation in this special evening featuring UC Berkeley students presenting on behalf of cutting edge deep tech innovation projects.
Best regards,
Matt Rappaport, Kavisha Shroff, Marian (Murry) Corpus, Viktor Strom, Leah Edwards, Chang Zi Qian, Bowman Heiden & Louisa Wallin Granbom
