SUMMARY:ICAP Lean Startup Course: Shenandoah Valley Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Based on the National Science Foundation's I-Corps  program for Lean Startups\, ICAP helps inventors and entrepreneurs take the right first steps in bringing new technologies and innovations to market.\n\nICAP includes FREE introductory training and counseling offered by ICAP instructors and local SBDC business advisors. ICAP helps startups identify potential customers and develop successful business models based on that knowledge. It is an ideal program for early-stage companies trying to prepare for eventual venture investment.\n\nDuring this 2-week program\, there is extensive work done outside the classroom. In addition to the two class meetings\, participants should expect to spend another 10-15 hours per week on customer discovery and course assignments.\n\nAt the conclusion of the program\, you will remain connected with your ICAP trainers and SBDC Business Advisors to continue your progress on the Five Steps to Startup Success.\n\nThis program is designed to generate a maximum impact over a relatively short duration and should be considered a required first step for anyone interested in commercializing a technology or product\, whether through a startup or licensing arrangement.\n\nSome graduates of this cohort may be eligible to apply to NSF's full National Seven-week I-Corps Program which includes non-dilutive grants for customer discovery and prototype development. Additionally\, this program can help teams develop better submissions for SBIR and CRCF grants from Virginia's Center for Innovative Technologies.\n\n\n\nApplications are due by midnight on October 3\, 2018.\n\n\n\nGo to the ICAP application form \n\n\n\nSee more information and important dates
