Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
This partnering brings PARC's property assets, technical mentoring and rapid prototyping infrastructure to 9Mile Labs' business-to-business startup program, a company press release states.
The focus of 9Mile Labs' business-to-business program is to engage with and help local technology startups by offering hands-on mentoring and customer interaction. This year's Startup Weekend will be held on May 16-18.
“We have been impressed by the (9Mile Labs) team’s commitment to understanding and solving the challenges facing early stage startups and entrepreneurs, especially in how they innovatively leverage cutting-edge ethnographic research techniques and the broader business community to improve the program itself as well as to optimize its interactions with the program’s entrepreneurs,” said Walt Johnson, VP and lab director of PARC’s Intelligent Systems Lab. “We’re convinced that PARC’s involvement in the 9Mile Labs program is consistent with the way we would like to engage with and support startups.”
