Innovation Accelerator, a start-up company started by UMass Professor Anthony McCaffrey [1]
Creativity and invention have a wild and unpredictable quality to them. Anthony has formed his own company that offers a software package that seeks to tame and rationalize these two important processes.
Anthony McCaffrey has launched his new company, Innovation Accelerator [2], based in West Brookfield, Mass., and its first product, Analogy Finder [3] software. He has also finalized a licensing agreement with the university’s office of Commercial Ventures & Intellectual Property that allows the company to commercialize the software. McCaffrey is a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for e-Design in the UMass Amherst mechanical and industrial engineering department, a recent doctoral recipient in psychology, and a former elementary school teacher.
