WACO, Texas (Aug. 7, 2017) – Baylor University’s LAUNCH program has a simple mission statement: Enable accelerated commercialization of things that matter.
Greg Leman, Ph.D., a clinical professor of entrepreneurship in Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business, is the founding director of LAUNCH. He said a thing that matters has two qualities: personal importance to the business owner and a positive impact on society.
Leman knows from experience that entrepreneurs need passion for their ideas to overcome the inevitable challenges of starting a business. He was awarded two patents during his 11 years as an engineering scientist with the Cabot Corporation, and has several patents pending.
