This summer, the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is offering a cohort of the Accelerate UConn program, a joint collaboration between MIT and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program. Its mission is to prepare startups for commercialization and entry into the marketplace. Participating teams will receive an introduction to the customer discovery process and receive coaching from mentors.
Startups will learn how to:
- Develop new ways to communicate the value of their product or technology
- Understand the structure of the market they are entering
- Identify next steps needed to launch their venture
- Identify customers most likely to bring them revenue
This program spans over 3 weeks. Participating teams will be funded up to $1,000 to support customer discovery remotely and will also receive access to next step resources.
The deadline for the Summer 2020 cohort is Monday, June 29, 2020 at 11:59pm. The program is set to kick off on July 24th and finish on August 14th.
