Chris at Harvard Business School

Writer: Chris BurkChris Burk

Josh Krieger and Jim Matheson teach a course called Tough Tech Ventures at Harvard Business School. In May, Josh approached me with the idea of developing a case study of techno-economic modeling in early-stage tough tech development.


We based the study on long-time Burk TechnoEconomics client DMC Biotechnologies, and composed it with the help of DMC co-founder Matt Lipscomb. Early this month, we presented the case to the class. I was blown away by how well Josh and Jim managed the conversation. I was also impressed by the insightful questions from the students, a number of whom joined us for lunch afterward.


Techno-economic modeling is so important to early-stage tough-tech development. It's great to see it getting incorporated in more programs and it's exciting to be part of it!
