Purdue University I-Corps – Spring 2026
February 13 - April 7
Free

I-Corps taught by Purdue University. Class sessions on Fridays, 9am-11am ET. Virtual and open to all Midwest innovators and researchers.
Purdue I-Corps: Discovery will help you explore the commercial viability of your deep tech innovation idea/IP. We teach the Lean LaunchPad approach, a process to help you systematically test key assumptions about your technology and the customer problems it might be able to solve better than current alternatives. This “technology-problem fit” assessment is the critical first step toward commercial success for any technology venture. These courses are for researchers and students with deep-tech IP and a strong interest in commercializing their technology. Researchers from other Midwest universities are welcome to apply.
