We’re excited to welcome our next cohort of ASPIRE startups! ASPIRE is an intense experiential workshop that prepares startups for the investments and partnerships necessary to launch their ventures. Through the generous support of The Lemelson Foundation and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, we’re providing these science and technology entrepreneurs with the tools, mentorship, and network building that they need to make an impact.
