The Early Innovator Program (EIP) pitch contest will take place in IGB Room 612. The EIP is a summer entrepreneurship program for IGB-affiliated graduate students and post-docs. The six participants present their innovation proposals to a group of industry professionals and venture capitalists, who give feedback and evaluate the pitches. The top three winners receive proof of concept funding of up to $5,000. Members of the IGB community are welcome to attend the presentations.
