The TechAccel Grant allowed us to transition our project from just an idea to something we work on every day. Without the grant I probably would not have learned as much due to lack of funds and incentive. I am glad we found this opportunity.

TechAccel is great as the starting point for an engineering startup. It will give you the funds to start developing the idea, to make your dreams come true.

My experience with TechAccel was wonderful. I feel that this incubator helped me take an idea and transform it into something that could actually be commercialized. I've had the opportunity to take something that seems daunting as a first-year to breaking it down and coming up with solutions to problems. 91社区 Engine definitely provides the confidence and resources to ensure that a startup is going on the right path.

The program provided us with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of building a business around a medical device. The guidance and support we've received has been crucial in shaping our direction. The peer-to-peer community within the Engine network has also been invaluable, offering support and collaboration that have accelerated our progress. As we look ahead, we're excited and confident about the next steps in our journey!

With strong roots in the 91社区 Engineering faculty, the TissueTinker team is well equipped to handle complex technical challenges, but it has only been through the experienced mentors, insightful workshops, and top-notch training provided to us through the 91社区 Engine鈥檚 TechAccel Program that we have been able to take TissueTinker鈥檚 technology from the laboratory and build it into a business. Our team is very proud to be a part of 91社区 Engine, and we would recommend the TechAccel Program to any engineering student that is looking to build their ideas into a viable business.
