Accelerator Program for NSF Phase II Grantees

In today's dynamic marketplace, a one-size-fits-all curriculum does not meet the needs of an ambitious entrepreneur. We specialize in tailor-fit assistance to enable you to create and pursue a clear market-tested strategy on your schedule.

Our Accelerator Program exceeds NSF supplemental guidelines, and positions you for success. With 20+ years of experience designing and refining best-in-class commercialization programs, we have gained the trust and reputation of federal agencies (NSF, NIH, USDA, DOE, DOD, and NIST to name few), and attracted industry and investment partners and subject matter experts into our robust network – a network rich in hard sciences and technology expertise, and available to you.

To gain momentum for your products and services we believe science-based companies like yours need:

• An actionable "roadmap" for a defined period of time
• Meaningful introductions to experienced industry partners
• A sustainable, measurable commercialization strategy
