More industry experts on the phone.
Then build with them.
The agent runs the outreach. The feedback comes from real people — practitioners, future users, and future buyers. GenHax is the bridge from your lab to the startup that comes out of it.
Beta opens November 20, 2026 — a week ahead of the International Day of Engagement in Science for Sustainable Development, so it lands before the US Thanksgiving week.
The agent opens the door. People do the talking.
How it works, start to finish.
Pick the sectors and roles your research serves. Start from our lists, including thousands of KG professionals.
The agent sends personal connection requests and follow-ups from the lab member’s own account.
Your team holds the calls. Human feedback on real needs, real users, and who would pay.
A GenHax challenge turns that feedback into prototypes, with students and mentors.
The experts you called come back as mentors, judges, first users, and first buyers.
Measured Against the Best in Class
NSF I-Corps teams complete 100+ stakeholder interviews in 7 weeks.
5 to 15 calls a month per lab member, all year — 60 to 180 a year each, from week one of the grant.
Typical hackathon: 30% of projects still move after a year, 4% become companies.
The challenge stays live after the event. Experts are already connected before the first prototype.
Teams that finish I-Corps win SBIR awards about 3x as often as the baseline.
Customer evidence and broader-impacts reporting, ready for the next proposal.

Pricing
Simple, because the cost is yours to keep low.
- Challenges are free for researchers. Build with students and mentors at no cost.
- Outreach automations start at $29.99/month per lab member running the agent.
- A premium LinkedIn account is needed to send outreach (about $30/month, separately).
Your next co-founder might be on the other end of that call.
