The Brandeis Virtual Incubator
The Brandeis Virtual Incubator fosters entrepreneurship in Brandeis students, post-doctoral fellows, staff and faculty. The Virtual Incubator is a focal point for anyone at Brandeis interested in technology commercialization-the intersection of business and science. The Virtual Incubator's activities are four-fold, designed to foster entrepreneurial activities within the Brandeis community including:
- Educational opportunities to help develop entrepreneurship skills
- Mentoring by experienced, successful entrepreneurs
- Networking events with industry and introductions into the local venture community
- The I-Corps, Sprout and Spark Program seed funds to move selected Brandeis inventions to the marketplace
Sprout
Sprout funds bench research by Brandeis faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. Grants of up to $25,000 are awarded for translational research projects with strong potential to be patented and commercialized.
Spark
Brandeis' Spark financial awards and virtual incubator program help bring non-bench research startups come to life through grants of $1,000-plus as well as mentorship and training.
I-Corps
Brandeis University is one of only 10 NSF Innovation Corps sites in New England. Through this program, we provide funding to accelerate the commercialization of promising research.
