September I-CORPS @ UC BERKELEY: WRAP UP

September I-Corps wrapped with strong cohort, including Aepnus Technology, helmed by a UC Berkeley PhD student and a postdoc. Aepnus Technology Inc. is solving the problem of scarcity of critical battery minerals by synthesis. Over the course of one week and 16 interviews, they were able to narrow their customer segments from six to three, and will next apply to the national NSF I-Corps program.
