  • “We consider ourselves fortunate to have been a part of the C3 Cohort. With the guidance of the USRIA team, we aligned our technology with the company's mission and values. This allowed us to determine that our current path did not align with our true purpose. We are deeply grateful to have found our direction with their help.”

  • Having participated in USRIA's Commercialization Connection Challenge (C3) program, we have experienced firsthand the transformative impact of the C3 program support that focuses on startup teams and making connections. Gaining access to such high caliber expertise in the early stages of our company's growth proved immensely beneficial and empowered us to plan for a technology demonstration project with a key industry partner.
