Iowa Venture School Spring 2023 Cohort

Venture School is an innovative training program focused on real-world experimentation, customer discovery, and Lean LaunchPad methodologies. This program uses the official National Science Foundation I-Corps curriculum to help high-potential startups turn their ideas into reality and existing businesses launch new ideas.

This program is great for startups AND for existing businesses that want to launch a new product or service line. You'll test your business idea and get input from coaches and other entrepreneurs. This cohort is completely virtual, so all you need is a laptop, camera, and an internet connection.
