September 18, 2023

CurveAssure interviewed over 30+ stakeholders and learned valuable lessons about the business model through this program. Through multiple days of lectures and presentations, our team continues to drill down the value proposition of our company. In addition, CurveAssure received $5,000 of funding.

Here is a snippet of what the program entails:

"The I-Corps program prepares scientists, engineers, and innovators across disciplines to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory and accelerates the economic and societal benefits of research projects that are ready to move toward commercialization. Through I-Corps, participants learn to identify valuable product opportunities that can emerge from academic research, and gain skills in entrepreneurship through training in customer discovery and guidance from established entrepreneurs."
