We are thrilled to introduce the Summer 2025 cohort of the NYU Tech Venture Workshop. This cohort brings together 14 innovative teams exploring a diverse range of technologies to address real-world challenges. The teams will receive up to $7,000 in reimbursable grant funding for customer discovery tools, prototyping, conference, and travel expenses! 🚀

About the Tech Venture Workshop

The Tech Venture Workshop (TVW) is the first phase of the three-part NYU Tech Venture Program. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF-IIP-2048498), TVW is a three half-day intensive program where NYU faculty and their PhD/postdoc teams explore the commercial potential of their research by engaging with customers and partners. Completing the workshop is the first step toward applying to the NSF I-Corps and Tech Venture Accelerator programs, which offer over $100,000 in grant funding to support research commercialization.
