About the Founder's Playbook

The Founder's Playbook was developed by Cyclotron Road and its partners to be the go-to knowledge repository for hard tech innovators and entrepreneurs. Cyclotron Road, along with the community of educational partners and practitioners below, will serve as a living laboratory for these resources, continually bulding upon and refining the content contained within based on their day-to-day engagement with leading hard tech innovators and entrepreneurs.The creation of this site has been made possible thanks to a grant from the California Energy Commission.
