The Econ team serves many important roles on DEBUT. They work closely with both Phase 2 teams to complete in depth market research for design ideas, regulatory pathways, and potential market impacts. In addition to this, they conduct patent searches to determine if ideas are novel and if this idea can be patented in the future. The Phase 2 teams will collaborate with Econ Analysts to write their final report to be submitted to the VentureWell DEBUT competition in the Spring.
