Washington Research Foundation (WRF) has selected its sixth cohort of WRF Venture Analysts to assist with its grant-making and investment activities. A total of 24 analysts have now worked with the Foundation since 2019.
Venture analysts work part-time with the WRF staff while undertaking graduate studies or postdoctoral research in Washington state. Analysts are typically pursuing an advanced degree in the sciences, or a graduate business degree following a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) undergraduate program. Some are early-career scientists at a Washington state nonprofit research lab. They assist in the review of grant and investment opportunities under consideration for funding by WRF, applying their expertise across a wide range of scientific fields while gaining working experience of commercialization and entrepreneurship.
