What is Advanced Invention to Venture?
Nicias's Advanced Invention to Venture (AI2V) workshop is a highly successful venture accelerator that puts undergrad & grad. student teams through a vigorous workshop to support commercialization of their technology innovation. Workshops are held throughout the academic year across the country. Team members (usually 2-4 individuals representing their teams) participate in this intensive workshop which provides coaching, on-site mentors, and lots of feedback, followed by six to eight weeks of ongoing strategy sessions and coaching. The outcome is a well thought through commercialization strategy and a well-practiced pitch.

Who Should Attend?
**Student teams, faculty, non-academic-affiliated venture teams or corporate technologists striving to define and articulate the market value of their technology; and the best strategy for commercialization **Startup Venture Teams who are "pre-market"
**Small technology businesses seeking to derive increased value from their technology offering
