The National Science Foundation announced today that with the help of private-sector partners, it plans to put at least $5 million per year into a new program, the Innovation Corps or I-Corps, aimed at helping university scientists and engineers build startups around their technologies.

NSF provides a nine-week crash course in tech entrepreneurship modelled on the “Lean LaunchPad” course taught at Stanford University this spring by author and retired serial entrepreneur Steve Blank.
