The Trinity Accelerator will accelerate collaborations between the federal government, industry and academia in the spirit of how successful startup companies create value and generate new products for their customers.
MISSION-DRIVEN
Each cohort will come together for entrepreneurial training and programming, including lean startup methodologies, that help teams get collaborative ideas off the ground.
The focus of these cohorts is on capacity building, community building, and entrepreneurial training rather than specific product development or service innovation projects, although we do anticipate exciting new product and service concepts to be borne out of the program efforts.
