The iGEM competition is unlike any other experience available to undergraduates. Teams work extremely hard over the duration of the competition to achieve things that are great, not only for undergraduates, but for research in general. There have been many examples of team projects creating advancements in their fields. iGEM teams also have an opportunity to take their ideas and develop them outside of the academic space. More and more, we see that teams go on to start companies based on their ideas, or start companies with their teammates. Below are some of the startups founded by iGEMers. Are you an iGEMer that has started a company? Get in touch with us so we can add you to the list and get you involved in After iGEM.
