inRes Very Early Stage Acceleration Program
Entrepreneurial teams in these contexts often lack:
specific competences for the management of early stage technology businesses
mentoring and contacts with potential
advisors
contacts with potential customers, partners, industry experts, and funding
As a consequence, they may develop more slowly
and with inferior performance
Problem Addressed Early stage high-tech new ventures, in particular academic spin-offs, led by less experienced entrepreneurs, often have human and social capital gaps.

n inRes provides entrepreneurial teams a training period in Portugal, followed by an eight-week structured immersion period in Pittsburgh, in the U.S., anchored at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
n The participating teams are benefiting from the exposure to a highly dense environment of world-leading research groups, and market and industry specialists, in a variety of high-tech areas.
n A new edition is expected to be launched in 2015!
