UARF I-Corps Program – earn pro bono hours!

The University of Akron Research Foundation (UARF) runs a very unique program called the I-Corps Sites program. It is a seven week customer discovery program to help tech (and non-tech) entrepreneurs find product market fit. We are currently able to accommodate university teams (National Science Foundation sponsored), community teams, and teams led by minorities and/or women. We are currently looking for enthusiastic, outgoing, and team-oriented law, business, engineering, and many other students to serve as team members to our participants. For law students, participation would count for general community service hours and if you are paired with a “limited means” company/team, then the hours would count for community service hours of limited means. We will be hosting an information session at the EX[L] Center in UA’s Bierce Library in the middle of campus on Friday, September 9, 2016 from 12-1pm. There will be food and drink provided for the information session. Interested individuals can either apply at www.uakron.edu/icorps by clicking on “Apply” and then filling out the application for “Student Entrepreneur,” attend the 9/9 information session, or contact Dan Hampu at dhampu@uakron.edu.
