Please join us in congratulating the 13 NYU startup teams that will participate in the inaugural 2018 Summer Faculty Sprint!
During the week of August 27th, faculty entrepreneurs and their Ph.D./postdoc teams will embark on a 5-day intensive program where they will test the commercial potential of their research with customers and partners. By the end of the program, teams will have devised an evidence-based business case to compliment their technology.
Nearly 20 teams applied, representing 12 NYU schools and colleges and ventures ranging from biotechnology to transit. We are thrilled to welcome and work with these teams!
