Interested in creating a startup that leverages world-class technology developed at CU Boulder? This session tells you how and features founders who have done it.

CU Boulder conducts around $700 million in research and development each year, generating a huge amount of breakthrough innovation. Starting in 2023, the university made this portfolio of new technology available to community entrepreneurs with a dedicated startup creation program. "Embark" connects aspiring founders with the university's "deep tech" innovation (think science and engineering technologies like robotics, AI, clean energy, and biotech). Select founders are then funded to start their own company to commercialize the innovation of their choosing, all with the backing of CU Boulder's many entrepreneurship resources.

Hear from founders who participated in the first cohort of Embark, and how they built their new companies in partnership with the university.
