Calling All Innovators: Join the Novus I-Corps Program

Calling all innovative faculty and students to join us on for the Novus I-Corps Program to learn how to turn your ideas into successful businesses. The event will be held from 4-7 p.m, Wednesday, September 18, in Bishop Dougherty University Center, Chancellor's Suite.

Learn about the impact your research or innovation could have in solving real-world problems by attending our Novus I-Corps Program at Seton Hall University, a half-day introduction to I-Corps, co-sponsored by the Northeast I-Corps Hub.

The Novus I-Corps program provides an opportunity for individuals and teams with innovations to:

• Understand how customer discovery drives innovation (and gets you out of the building!)
• Learn tips for success from an I-Corps alumni Panel sharing their experience.
• Network with others to form teams (Optional)

Who Should Attend:

• Seton Hall University faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and/or undergraduates as well as faculty and students from other universities, are encouraged to participate.
• Individuals who want to learn how innovation happens at Seton Hall University and potentially join a team.
• Student organization/ program leaders who want to learn more about how I-Corps can benefit their members.

Benefits:

• Training: Three-hour training introducing the I-Corps Lean LaunchPad approach to evaluating technologies through customer-discovery research, focused on identifying the technology's potential for development in a startup or other venture.
• Networking: Build relationships with local I-Corps program leaders to get guidance and support. Individuals can form teams to be eligible to apply for the Regional I-Corps program.
• Preparation: Attendees will be prepared to begin a journey of customer discovery with their own team or with a team they newly created.
• Follow-Up Opportunities: Attendees can be fast-tracked to the 4-week Regional I-Corps Program ($1,500 National Science Foundation grant to do customer discovery). Followed by guidance to receive follow-up funding up to $50,000 and $305,000.
