I-Corps

Managed by the Innovation Research Engagement Office (IREO), WSU’s I-Corps Program is an 8-week program where faculty, undergraduate and graduate students and staff with innovative and entrepreneurial ideas are given the training, resources and support they need to turn those ideas into successful business products. Supported by the National Science Foundation, teams receive $2,500 in funding, meet with industry experts, conduct customer research, and receive feedback from the teaching team all with the specific intent of evolving their idea into a viable business at the end of 8 weeks. WSU’s I-Corps program is available at all WSU locations and applications from all colleges and programs of study are encouraged.
