We present the Technology, Education, and Commercialization (TEC) Algorithm: complete sets of information and decision analysis tools used in an experiential learning process to find, assess, and commercialize technologies. The TEC educational process prepares graduate engineering and management students for the challenges they encounter when managing technology commercialization in high technology startups. Emphasis is placed on high‐technology startups as a pedagogical tool to teach the entire business and technical development process to students. The process is equally applicable for corporate ventures and individuals interested in championing new ideas.
