CU Startup News
- BizWeistâOnKure, a CU Boulder spinout, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of best-in-class precision medicines that target biologically validated drivers of cancer.
- The University of Colorado is a national leader in startup creation with a growing suite of entrepreneurial resources giving innovative researchers opportunities to spin ideas into businesses.
- BizWestâBizWest has announced the winners of its 2023 IQ Awards, which honor the âinnovation quotientâ among companies in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado. This year's winners include CU Boulder startups Goodie Bag Food Co. and Prometheus Materials Inc.
- Interesting EngineeringâThe primary goal of soft robotics is to achieve smooth and complex movement by mimicking the locomotion of soft bodies found in the environment. Researchers at CU Boulder and CU Boulder startup Artimus Robotics are leading innovation with a new type of "artificial muscle" to enable life-like movements.
- New IridiumâNew Iridium was awarded $1M NSF SBIR Phase II grant to advance its photocatalysis platform to produce low-carbon chemicals at a lower cost the todayâs incumbent processes.
- In taking its technology from the lab to the streets, Solid Power is changing how electric vehicles run with less expensive, more efficient and safer battery technology.
- Say âhelloâ to the robots of the future: Theyâre soft and flexible enough to bounce off walls or squeeze into tight spaces. And when youâre done with them, you can toss these machines into a compost bin to decompose.
- Chemical EngineeringâThe partnership with New Iridium focuses on CO2Â conversion via photocatalysis, the startupâs expertise, which is an innovative solution based on the use of light sources (for example, LEDs) and CO2Â from industrial emissions in combination with low-cost raw materials.
- What if improving oneâs athletic performance through supplements was simpler and more affordable? What if, instead of producing emissions, airplanes could take carbon out of the air? These ideas and more are realities in the making, thanks to many aspiring entrepreneurs who pitched their products at the 16th annual New Venture Challenge (NVC) finals.
- Scientists from CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) made an important leap forward in the quest to diagnose disease using exhaled breath, reporting that a new laser-based breathalyzerâborn of Nobel Prize-winning technology from CUâpowered by artificial intelligence (AI) can detect COVID-19 in real-time with excellent accuracy.
