OPEN Exchange: Five Years of I-Corps™: What Have We Learned?

In the five years since the launch of the I-Corps™ program by National Science Foundation, hundreds of teams and thousands of scientists and engineers have had the opportunity to participate in this intensive Lean Launch training program. VentureWell has partnered with NSF since the start of the program to support scaling of the program and to collect data on program activities, outcomes, and participant experiences. This interactive discussion will be framed by a review of the public program outcomes to date at the national course level followed by an interactive exploration of what we can learn from the results of the program, its implications for engaging and training emerging science and technology innovators, and where and how we learn more and dive deeper in the future.
