In this article, we explore the nine steps that we have found to be critical for success in our journeys in taking ideas in imaging to commercial products. These nine steps include 1) findings ideas that resonate, 2) protecting your intellectual property, 3) developing a great team that shares in the vision for the product, 4) building a low-fidelity prototype, 5) customer discovery to test your business hypothesis, 6) forming a company, 7) serving on a study section as a prelude to 8) seeking non-dilutive funding, and finally, 9) angel/venture funding.
在本文中，我们探讨了在将成像领域的创意转化为商业产品的过程中，我们发现的九个关键步骤。这九个步骤包括：1）寻找共鸣的创意，2）保护知识产权，3）组建一个拥有共同产品愿景的优秀团队，4）构建低保真原型，5）通过客户发现测试业务假设，6）成立公司，7）在申请非稀释性资金之前先在研究小组任职，最后，8）寻求天使/风险投资。
