Dear ADVANCE community:

Please share the following professional development opportunity with women in STEM at your institutions!

Building on 46 years of experience in advancing women in STEM, The Association for Women in Science is pleased to announce the launch of STEM to Market: The AWIS Accelerator, a unique program designed to help STEM-trained women transform their research into market-ready products that make customers' lives better.  The program is free to accepted participants, thanks to funding from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Through the ten-month program, participants will: 

• Receive customized commercialization training and support;
• Become part of a network and community of STEM entrepreneurs;
• Access mentoring and advising from successful entrepreneurs, investors, funders, and market experts; 
• Develop strong connections to the investment community; and
• Help shape equitable and inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems.

Applications are currently open through April 28 for the Washington, DC cohort here: https://www.stemtomarket.org/accelerator.  Not in the DC area? Sign up for the waitlist for our programs coming soon to the Bay Area and Chicago and we’ll notify you when the applications are open. Please share this opportunity with your colleagues!

Thank you!

Heather
