Energy I-Corps Teaching Team

The teaching team brings the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Technology Commercialization's (OTC) Energy I-Corps curriculum to life. Energy I-Corps instructors are truly the backbone of the program and provide the time, energy, and intensity needed to successfully shepherd 12–18 teams through each cohort.

Instructors bring critical industry expertise to the program and introduce the language of innovation and commercialization to the participating teams. By leveraging deep technical backgrounds and advanced business experience, instructors bring their industry knowledge to each session—sharing lessons learned while incorporating program elements, professional development, and commercialization pathways.

Instructors leverage their business and startup experience to the benefit of OTC's Energy I-Corps teams through instruction, one-on-one advisory sessions, presentation coaching, customer discovery review, team building, and network expansion.
