SUMMARY:Ignite Fellows for New Venture Info Session #4
DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (OVPRI) at Cornell University has launched the Ignite Postdoc for Ventures program–one of the four signature programs of Ignite Cornell Research Lab to Market gap fund series–in January 2022 to fund and train candidates with entrepreneurial outlooks to start technology ventures based on groundbreaking Cornell invention portfolios. \nFor this fourth annual recruitment\, the program will accept master graduates\, PhDs and candidates. The goal of the program is to build strong new businesses\, grow entrepreneur scientists and engineers\, advance technology commercialization\, and enrich Cornell’s venture ecosystem by creating high-value startup companies based on the partnerships of an Ignite candidate and faculty inventor. With the strength of Cornell based on its founding principal “… any person … any study”\, this program allows any aspiring entrepreneurs to find the right innovation among the broad range of great discoveries made in the lab and the diversifying body of faculty innovators. The program de-risks the entrepreneurship journey by providing a funding package of up to $120\,000 which includes salary compensation of the fellow and funding to conduct basic experiments. As a Cornell employee\, the fellow will be eligible to the benefits accessible to any Cornell employees. \nWe are looking for candidates who dream big and take risks\, want to become a CEO\, CSO\, or CTO founder\, and want to take their entrepreneurial skills to the next level. \nRegister for the info session here.
