Jenn M. Amador

Lead Facilitator - ecosVC Lens of the Market

Biography

Jenn is co-founder of nexTC Materials, an early stage start-up spun out of research at Oregon State University. nexTC’s unique platform technology allows doe deposition of thin-film oxide materials on glass for use in a range of markets from solar photovoltaics to dynamic window glazing.  

She is a Lens of the Market alum, previously was a co-facilitator for Lens of the Market at the University of Texas El Paso and is a former CSMC Innovation Fellow and Pivotal Scholar.
