Brown Ph.D. Student John McMurdy

Wins $200,000 in NIH and NSF SBIR Awards

I2V and AI2V training, in addition to BMEidea 2006 award and E-Team grant funding, provides springboard to success.

After winning the 2006 BMEidea Competition for his innovative real-time anemia testing device, John McMurdy (pictured above entering data) went on to attend NCIIA's Invention to Venture and Advanced Invention to Venture workshops.  The first provided a cursory introduction to entrepreneurship and networking resources, but the Advanced Invention to Venture workshop put John through the paces of a four-day intensive workshop followed by coaching and homework.  AI2V provided McMurdy the business skills, training and coaching he needed to move forward confidently to start and seek financing for his venture.
