The Center ICE Seed Fund is offering consulting to help entrepreneurs succeed. Center ICE will help applicants find a qualified faculty member or student to work with and set up the engagement contract. A university faculty member or postdoctoral researcher will review entrepreneurs' ideas or problems.

In addition to offering the current grants for "nudges" of up to $25,000 to help innovators and entrepreneurs with the technical and commercial challenges they are solving, the two new programs are available this spring.

For more information, visit the seed fund website or contact centerice@alaska.edu.
