I-Corps Lite
Through Berkeley Lab’s I-Corps Lite training program, innovators can learn to commercialize their technology or refine their new idea to maximize its impact. I-Corps Lite is a series of training sessions where Berkeley Lab scientists learn through a customer discovery program how to test and refine their ideas in a business context, and attract market funding.
*To participate, prior approval by supervisor is required.
Whether one is developing a new invention, writing a grant proposal, planning a startup, optimizing an administrative process or pursuing a promotion, the I-Corps Lite program has valuable insights for any and all members of the community. It is not only for startups!

“I’m convinced it helped us clench an ARPA-E award. What I learned in I-Corps was absolutely essential to understanding and effectively articulating the business opportunity of our battery technology. It significantly altered our outlook on the technological demands necessary to gain market traction.”
Peter Frischmann, a former Lab scientist and co-founder and CEO of Sepion Technologies
“I think all Lab researchers should participate in I-Corps training before trying to commercialize their technologies....It’s important to understand that users and decision-makers are different and may have different interests. It is essential to identify these key stakeholders and their needs.”
