NSF I-Corps

This is a groundbreaking grant program by the national Science Foundation to support commercialization of technologies developed as a result of NSF sponsored research.

 

There will be twenty-five awards in Q4-2011, one-hundred awards in 2012 and one-hundred awards in 2013. An I-Corps team must be in place when submitting an application. An I-Corps team consists of:

  • Entrepreneurial Lead (usually a post-doc or grad student)
  • Principal Investigator
  • Mentor (domain expert volunteer)

To qualify, the PI must have received an NSF award in the last five years.

The goal of the grant is to achieve a product demonstration by the end of the six-month program. Participation also requires attendance at a 3-day in person kickoff meeting, followed by five webinars, and an in-person “demo day” showcase.

If you are interested in participating in the NSF I-Corps program, please contact your VentureLab Prinicpal (see contact information below)

Events on May 27, 2013
  • SOB
    Starts: 7:30 am
    Ends: May 27, 2013 - 8:30 am
    Location: J. Christopher's
    Description: For over a year now, Stephen Fleming has been loosely coordinating an open breakfast on Monday mornings. It typically consists of GT staff, some students (graduate and undergraduates), and local entrepreneurs. Roughly speaking, the crowd gathers between 7:30 and 8:30. There’s no agenda, no organization, just smart people gathering to eat breakfast, drink coffee, and talk about interesting topics.

    Discussions range from startup financing to programming language wars to rocketry to anything else on our minds. Sometimes, only two or three people show up.

    You can get a decent breakfast for three bucks, or a cup of Jittery Joe (which some people claim is better than Starbucks, and cheaper). Feel free to join us!

    Ends: May 28, 2013 - 1:00 pm
    Location: Hypepotamus
    Description: Eat, drink and be mobile with your fellow ATL Mobile Technology startups. Even in the mobile startup world, it’s good to sit down face-to-face with your peers and discuss issues to get/give help to your fellow entrepreneurs.

    There must be a significant mobile technology component in your business model to attend these meetings. Please absolutely no service providers. This is not a sales networking opportunity.

    Hosted by 151 Locust founder and ATDC Executive in Residence, Ed Rieker.

    4th Tuesday of every month at noon. If you register for the event we’ll provide you with a slice of pizza pie, drink and a napkin.
