About the Course

Lean Launchpad Spring is focused on Deep Tech. We support teams building innovations grounded in scientific discoveries or engineering advances with the potential to profoundly impact industries and people’s lives. We look for teams working on technology-driven products (hardware, AI, software, materials science, medical, life sciences, chemical, etc.) who are looking to take their innovations out of the lab and build a business. Additional focus includes education ideas and general tech-driven startup ideas.
