SUMMARY:NSF I-Corps Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Accelerate your ideas through customer discovery and market opportunity validation! KickStart Venture Services is recruiting community startups as well as faculty\, post-doctoral fellows\, graduate students\, and undergraduate students with innovations and an interest in commercialization to participate in our virtual NSF I-Corps program. We’ll teach you the principles of customer discovery to help you better understand the market potential of your innovation! The National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps Program (I-Corps) was launched in 2011 and has quickly become one of the world’s largest and most successful technology commercialization accelerators. The I-Corps regional program helps researchers and aspiring innovators determine if they are solving a real-world problem with true market opportunity. NSF’s I-Corps Program not only provides funding\, mentoring\, and networking opportunities to help commercialize promising technologies\, it is offered at NO COST to the community. We’re hosting a virtual information session on January 22 at 12 pm to learn more about the program and upcoming cohorts.
