WHAT THE ENTREPRENEURS SAY…
DC I-Corps sprung me from my professorship
comfort zone – I’ve learned more in I-Corps than I
have in the last 10 years. --Prof. Len Anetta, George
Mason Univ., DC Regional Cohort
I-Corps has been the most rewarding experience in
my over 35 years in academia. I-Corps is magic,
transformative and most effective in a deceivingly
simple way. -Prof. Magdy Iskander, Univ. of Hawaii, DC
