“I-Corps helped me understand
that our ideas need to be looked at
from an outside perspective.
I also learned that to commercialize
an idea, one needs inputs from
the target market.”
Francis Libutti
Rutgers Business School, Finance, EOF Scholar
“I’ve already used the customer discovery
process in a United Nations sponsored
competition and I plan on using the
customer discovery process in the future
when working with any kind of start up.“
Zoya Sood
Rutgers, Communication and Information
“This experience taught me how to work
collaboratively with professionals and
really pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I was surprised to learn how the data we
gained really pushed us to condense and
fine tune our customer segments, and even
led to new segments we had never thought of.”

“My opinions were valued even
thought I was the youngest member of
the team. I learned how to conduct
professional interviews and to be brief.
I am definitely more passionate
about getting a patent.”
Sydney Simonitis

“I learned if I focus and believe in
myself, I can be calm under pressure
and execute tasks at a high standard.
Watching the teaching team work together
was a really valuable experience for me –
they modeled what effective
collaboration looks like.”

Jinson Buri

“Through I-Corps, I learned how
to approach and interview clients,
I also learned how much
potential I have. I-Corps helped
me be more confident.”
