Do you have a class project, research, or business idea that could be the next big thing? The Shipley Center, in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the City University of New York, is now accepting applications for our third NSF I-Corps cohort this summer!
Why Join?
- Explore the real-world potential of your idea – connect with potential customers early in the development process to lead to greater chances of commercialization success.
- Gain hands-on experience in “customer discovery” – a key skill for innovators & entrepreneurs.
- Get funding to support your customer discovery research, attend conferences, and access valuable market databases.
- Boost your resume – I-Corps is a widely respected program in STEM and business.
- Increase your chances of securing grants for continued research development.
- Access up to $50,000 in funding if selected for the national I-Corps program!
Participation in this program is completely free and anyone in the Clarkson community (students, faculty, and staff) and local community members are welcome to apply. You don’t need a fully developed idea – in fact, it’s better if you’re just starting out.
