"Joining Innovation Crossroads was transformational for Endeavor Composites. The program not only gave us the runway to refine our business model and grow as founders, but also provided unparalleled access to Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s expertise and facilities. Having the ability to test and scale our materials with ORNL resources accelerated our technology development in ways that simply would not have been possible otherwise.
That foundation continues to position us for success today."
