The ISU Startup Factory offers creative thinkers and inventors the opportunity to explore their innovative ideas for a product or service.  Our overall goal is for researchers and inventors to move from “tech speak to business speak” to gain investment in their business and sales of their unique products and services.  The 16-weeks of sessions coincide with the academic calendars of the ISU fall and spring semesters.  During those meetings, we focus on the foundational strategies of building a startup business.  The interactive presentations begin with founders’ leadership skills and end with a commercialization strategy plan to guide entrepreneurs to their first sale.  In addition, each cohort member receives valuable mentoring and networking introductions.
