"SkyNano found the Innovation Crossroads program at an early and pivotal time in our journey as a company, and we certainly wouldn't be where we are today without the support of the program.

We were able to hone in on our business strategy, connect with customers, and develop contacts across the technical and entrepreneurial ecosystem offered by this program that still pay dividends today -- even six years after graduating from the program,"
Anna Douglas, Co-Founder and CEO, SkyNano
