Establishment of the NYC Regional Innovation Network
We have created a highly interactive innovation and entrepreneurship consortium of over 25 leading universities in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania area that we term the NYC Regional Innovation network. Our goal is to leverage our seasoned expertise in mentoring and training startups and small businesses (or larger businesses interested in creating new divisions) in the customer discovery process. We emphasize an experiential learning process combined with an inverted classroom approach which aligns the companies’ value propositions with each of their customer segments. Our process enables companies to scale their commercialization model into a sustainable and repeatable business. In the long term, we hope to provide innovators throughout the U.S. with a structured portal for access to the unique NYC-regional combination of world-class universities, venture capital investment resources, and the nation’s fastest growing technology startup ecosystem.
