Do you have an idea for a startup in STEM? It’s time to test it with potential customers!

Through a grant from NSF, the I-Corps program works with Penn faculty, staff, post-docs, and students to test and validate startup ideas through customer discovery.

Participants learn valuable skills on connecting with customers, asking the right questions, and how to find partners to help get your startup off the ground. Plus, teams are awarded grants of up to $2000 for participating.

Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed on a rolling basis. The final application deadline for the fall 2021 cohort is Tuesday, September 28.
