Application Open! Blueprint Program: Turning Tough Tech Breakthroughs into Tough Tech Startups

Blueprint is a non-resident program for graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, and their teams, to explore the commercial opportunities of their breakthroughs and startup projects. The program helps the next generation of Tough Tech leaders navigate the commercialization process through tailored programming which covers a wide array of critical topics, from technology risk mitigation and experimentation planning to market discovery, IP strategies, and effective storytelling, all through a lens of de-risking.

What are Commercialization Collaborators? 

Individuals who become integral members of a dedicated Blueprint team for the duration of the program. These collaborators immerse themselves in the team dynamics, working hand-in-hand with their Blueprint counterparts. This gives commercialization collaborators the opportunity to work with potential Tough Tech companies hands-on and build relationships with future Tough Tech founders.

We are currently inviting applications for Blueprint participants & Commercialization Collaborators for the next cohort of the Blueprint program, with a deadline of August 12th @ 11:59pm. This initiative not only offers a unique platform to advance technical skills but also integrates participants into a vibrant ecosystem of innovators, investors, and mentors dedicated to bringing pivotal solutions to life.

Please reach out to our team at blueprint@engine.xyz if you have any questions.
