Imprint, an organization founded at Cornell Tech that is dedicated to decoding the body's immune memory and uncovering the causes of chronic diseases, announced that it has raised over $15 million in funding.
Imprint's journey began in 2019 when its founder, Beck Brachman, was accepted into Cornell Tech's Runway Postdoc Program, a startup incubator within the Jacobs Institute. The Runway program helps postdocs, those who recently received their doctoral degrees, transition from an academic mindset to an entrepreneurial outlook. Participants receive substantial support, including a salary, research budget, housing allowance, mentorship from academic and business experts, and access to selected university resources.
The Runway Program has been instrumental in launching over 120 startups. These startups have collectively raised over $375 million in private funding and created more than 500 jobs in New York City. Notable startups include Nanit, OnsiteIQ, and Biotia.
