IdeaLaunch

Baylor, in partnership with the NSF I-Corps Southwest region, is offering an IdeaLaunch Bootcamp. This three-week, four-session program provides a foundation for exploring the viability of your business ideas. The idea-stage program is open to all entrepreneurial-minded researchers, engineers, scientists, artists, musicians, and business-minded creatives who are ready to solve problems and turn their ideas into potential businesses. 

IdeaLaunch is intentionally designed to simulate the time- and cash-constrained environments in which startups operate. Throughout the program, instructors will push, challenge, and question your business model to provide direct, constructive feedback. Teams will conduct rigorous customer discovery interviews to gain real-world insights and learn how to adjust their proposed business models based on actual market needs
