In May 2025, our HARMONIC team was recommended for the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps (NSF I-Corps™) National Teams Program. This follows our successful participation in the regional I-Corps program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), facilitated through the New York I-Corps Hub.

As the Entrepreneurial Lead and Co-Principal Investigator, I will be working alongside our team during the seven-week national program. This initiative provides up to $50,000 in funding to support extensive customer discovery efforts, including conducting over 100 interviews with potential stakeholders. Our goal is to assess the market viability of our technology and explore potential commercialization pathways.
