Global Tech Launch (GTL) is an intense incubator-style course to develop "born-global" tech innovators and global business leaders. We work especially closely with the tech-intensive innovators, ranging from pre-seed labs, to growth startups, to new business development teams at corporations. In the GTL program, each team consists of three groups of members: (1) business/tech partners; (2) entrepreneurial leaders; and (3) global virtual team partners. Within 15 weeks, each team will complete a global market research related to a product/business's fit in an international market.
