<div dir="ltr">The summer <b>Intro to I-Corps Workshop</b> application is now open to all UH students and faculty from any major, level, or college. You simply need a tech startup idea. Participants will learn about the process of launching a startup including:
how to find the right customer, bringing value to your customer, and how to handle intellectual property.
<br>
<br>
The workshop will take place on <b>Friday, July 20</b>. Participants are expected to be in attendance for a half day (11am - 3pm) on Friday, July 20. They are also expected to participate in a follow up meeting and complete required deliverables.
<br>
<br>
Successful completion of this workshop makes the participants eligible for a stipend of up to $500, as well as eligible to apply to the I-Corps regional and national programs; which is a more extensive startup curriculum and customer interview process. Both
will qualify teams for additional funding, and the national program comes with a $50,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.<br>
<br>
