Executive summary
Current state
University of Iowa received $50k NSF I-Corps grant for IoT precision agriculture platform translation but cannot commercialize directly due to institutional constraints, requiring John Deere as partner and creating commercial gaps for independent operators.
Market catalyst
University has $50k grant and technical expertise but lacks commercial speed and must work through John Deere's bureaucracy, while John Deere faces slow academic timelines and limited farmer validation access for the mandated I-Corps customer discovery process.
