N1 - Funding Information:
I would like to thank Dr. Andrew Barnard for giving me the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship. I would like to thank Mr. Steven Mattson for his assistance and mentorship throughout these I-Corps programs. I would like to thank Jim Baker and Mary Raber for their help during the initial customer discovery. Thank you to the Southwest I-Corps team for their guidance. And finally, thank you to the National Science Foundation for providing the tools and support to participate in these programs.

N2 - The commercialization rate for technology developed at universities has risen dramatically over the past 30 years. Beginning with the Bayh-Dole Act, the amount of intellectual property (IP) owned by these academic institutions has increased exponentially. There has also been an increase in the number of companies that have spun out of universities using this IP. However, the increase of spinouts does not match the rate of increase in intellectual property. The National Science Foundation has created the Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program to help bridge this gap and provide academic professionals and students the tools necessary to commercialize technology. Team NanoSound, based out of Michigan Technology University, participated in a series of I-Corps programs to commercialize the carbon nanotube thermophone. As a result of these programs, Team NanoSound has developed a business model and brought this promising technology out of the laboratory and onto a path towards commercialization.
