Get $2,000 and the customer proof that makes everything after it easier. Session one is on November 5th, and the cohort runs through December, fully virtual.
Most early startups die the same way. Months of building on what the founder assumed customers wanted, then finding out nobody did.
This program fixes that in weeks.
You talk to real people in your market. You find out which parts of your idea hold up and which parts you made up. You come out knowing who your customer is, what they will pay for, and what to build next.
That clarity compounds. Sharper pitch. Focused roadmap. Real evidence instead of opinions.
Completing I-Corps also makes you eligible to apply for the national NSF program and its $50,000 grant.
The $2,000 is real. What you learn getting it is worth more.
Founders with an idea or early product who need to validate it with real customers. No university affiliation, IP, or research background required. Plan on 8 to 10 hours a week while the program runs.
If you are ready to move from idea to validated, this is for you.
You are on the list. We will email you the application link and exact dates as soon as registration opens.
