I-Corps@ECU: Assistive, Accessible and Adaptive Pitch Program

Do you have an idea or innovation related to assistive, accessible, or adaptive technologies? These are defined as products or services that help maintain or improve cognition, communication, hearing, mobility, self-care, learning, and/or vision. Ideas that are in the concept phase are strongly encouraged to apply for the I-Corps program.

All eligible teams that complete the program will have access to $5,000 in funding for prototyping, proof of concept, and/or travel to conduct customer discovery. Following three sessions, teams that have a faculty team member will pitch with the top two teams receiving an additional $2,500 in funding to help accelerate the development of their innovation.
