Being an entrepreneur isn't easy. They have to fight against formidable odds to turn ideas into products. While that's a tough road for anyone, it's particularly difficult if you're in the public sector.

Washington State University recently partnered on a virtual
Technology Showcase that connected biomedical inventors to possible investors across the U.S. One of the most challenging parts of taking a discovery from the lab to the marketplace is finding investors and companies that will support further technology development.

Travel and conference costs become a barrier for
inventors, especially those from rural universities.
