NSF I-Corps Courses are for university researchers interested in exploring the market potential of their work and learning entrepreneurial skills. While exploring your current project, you'll learn to apply the same process to other technologies – now and in your future career. Participants in this free course will learn how to acquire and apply information from the marketplace, customer interviews, and industry partners.
If you work with a team, the whole team can participate in the course. Teams already working with industry mentors stand to maximize their experience, but a mentor is not required. The I-Corps Course participation is a great way to get connected with the nation-wide NSF I-Corps network of mentors, Sites, Nodes, and programming.
