Call for Applications: Pilot Photonics Business Bootcamp
The entire Bootcamp provides hyper-focused programming, connections, and services designed to help identify appropriate US market opportunities, execute on said US market entry, and ensure a sustainable presence of the company within the bustling photonics market of Rochester. It was built as ideal for EU-based entrepreneurs in particular, because the path to market for photonics developed in either continent is so similar. The Photonics Business Bootcamp was made for entrepreneurs with a photonics product which needs to be demonstrated, scaled up and/or regulated for US market traction, with relevant customers and partners. At the conclusion of the bootcamp each participant will have a better understanding of the market entry and dynamics for their particular sector in the US, ample connections to a local network in the United States through the New York Photonics Cluster, and be better prepared to consider a satellite presence within the region to be closer to critical stakeholders. Additionally, participants will be automatically considered for the Luminate Accelerator, a globally competitive 6-month seed accelerator program that invests $100,000 initially in selected applicants, and the ability to obtain nearly $2M in follow-on funding by the end of the program.
