MNSBIR is proud to support and celebrate our client Adialante, which was recently awarded a $1.18 million National Science Foundation SBIR PhaseII grant, bringing their total funding to over $3 million. Founded by Dr. Efraín Torres and Parker Jenkins, Adialante is on a mission to make affordable, compact, and silent MRI machines accessible to underserved communities—especially in parts of the world where 90% of the population lacks access to this critical diagnostic tool.
From their beginnings in innovation programs like NSF I-Corps to multiple recognitions across the startup ecosystem, the Adialante team has demonstrated what’s possible when visionary leadership meets strategic support. Their accolades include:
- NSF SBIR Phase I Award
- Grand Prize winner at Walleye Tank
- MN Cup Semifinalist
- NSF Director Highlight
- University of Minnesota Office of Discovery & Translation grant
