Embrace opportunities. We have a great ecosystem at Purdue and I think the Foundry is a critical part of that. If you're interested in a startup, keep it open and you never know what you can achieve.
Meng DengAssistant Professor in Agricultural and Biological Engineering
Founder & President, Adipo Therapeutics
There is such a supportive ecosystem at Purdue to encourage entrepreneurship. I never thought about starting a company until I started a career at Purdue and took advantage of the infrastructure, like the Foundry.
Riyi ShiMari Hulman Goerge Endowed Professor of Applied Neuroscience
Foudner, Neurovigor
Coming to the Foundry helped me figure out the business side of bringing my technology to market, which was completely foreign to me.
Stewart LowPostdoctoral researcher, purdue department of chemistry
CSO, Novosted
It's clear that without the help of the Purdue Foundry, I don't think we would be here.
Mohammaed Rahmanassociate professor of management
ceo, rightfit analytics
Before the Foundry, there wasn't anyone on campus to ask about starting a company. Purdue has done a 180 degree turn on its attitude toward helping faculty develop their discoveries into commercially beneficial enterprises.
