The NYU Tech Venture Workshop is a three half-day immersive program where faculty entrepreneurs and their PhD/postdoc/research teams learn how to test the commercial potential of their research directly with customers and partners. Participating teams receive grant funding from the National Science Foundation, coaching, and attend workshops on selecting the right market, customer segment, IP, and more.
The Tech Venture Workshop introduces commercialization methodologies adopted by the NSF, NIH, DOD, DOE, and other federal agencies, including business model design and customer development (AKA the Lean Startup).
Participating teams are eligible to apply to participate in the Tech Venture Intensive and Tech Venture Accelerator (details coming early in 2021), and to become Mark & Debra Leslie Tech Venture Fellows and receive up to $50,000 in grant funding to further their research commercialization efforts. Teams are also eligible to apply to participate in the NSF I-Corps program and will be well poised to raise seed funding and a strong SBIR/STTR grant application in the future.
Are you interested in participating in the NYU Tech Venture Workshop? Apply to be a part of our Spring 2021 cohorts! More information and deadlines can be found on the NYU Tech Venture Workshop page.
