"Staten Island could be the next frontier for New York tech"
At the CSI Tech Incubator we foster a community of tech innovators and entrepreneurs that are seeking to advance and grow their startups.
We have a robust technological ecosystem with strategic mentors, industry professionals, faculty, sponsors, government leaders and a dedicated tactical team with the mutual goal of supporting and elevating our entrepreneurs.
Members accepted into our program will benefit from a high touch business development program. Our program will set you apart from all the rest from concept to pitch. We pride ourselves on getting our members to where they need to be for ultimate success!
University leadership has encouraged us to think beyond corporate solutions and provided us the unique opportunity to adapt our instruments to make a real social impact within an academic setting.
