About NSF I-Corps and Innovation Node-Los Angeles
The I-Corps program was created by the National Science Foundation in 2011 to help move academic research it has funded to market, and offers entrepreneurship training to student and faculty participants. Teams qualified for the National Program can apply for $50,000 grants focused on customer discovery and on identifying the problem-solution and product-market fit for emerging technology. Innovation Node-LA offers a number of programs that groom teams for qualification for the national program. The LA Node program also provides the teams with the required NSF lineage for the I-Corps application, regardless of the project's original funding source. See attached for more on the Innovation Node-LA training program.
