15 Project Formulation

🎯 Session Objectives

Structure a technology project using standard funding frameworks.
Understand the logic behind public funding formats (MGA, Minciencias).
Consolidate technical, strategic, and financial data into a single Technical Datasheet.

A great idea with a working prototype (TRL 5-6) still needs capital to scale. Sources include:

Seed Capital: Bootstrapping, Friends & Family.
Angel Investors: High net-worth individuals funding early-stage startups.
Public Funds: In Colombia, institutions like Minciencias, iNNpulsa, and SENA (Fondo Emprender) provide grants or competitive funding.

Many public funding applications (like the MGA - Metodología General Ajustada) require organizing your project logically.

Problem Tree: Identifies the core problem, its root causes, and its effects on society/industry.
Objective Tree: Transforms the negative states of the problem tree into positive, achievable goals.

Investors and review panels don't read 50-page documents initially. They read a 1-page summary. It must be dense but readable.

Goal: Create a compelling, professional "One-Pager" for your technology project to share with prospective mentors or investors.

Structure of the One-Pager:

The Problem: 2 sentences describing the industrial pain point.
The Solution: 2 sentences explaining your tech (Python/Arduino/Anylogic).
Current Status: Your current TRL and pilot test results.
Market & Business Model: Who pays for it and how? (Lean Canvas summary).
The Ask (Financial): How much money/resources do you need to reach the next milestone? (Based on Week 14 Valuation).

Polish the design and wording of your Tech Datasheet.
