Grant Description
Opportunity for USA technologists, students, and teams to participate in a business and product development program in the social justice and social impact fields. Eligible applicants have technical skills in the fields of engineering, emerging technologies, design, and computer science. The program provides participants with product ideas, mentorship, and coaching, then works with each team one-on-one for a month to help develop ideas.

  • Methodology: Come away with a roadmap for testing new ideas through the design of an MVP
  • Next Steps: Understand what you need to do to continue growing your company and access other resources within gener8tor's network to help

Benefits include:

  • Access to gener8tor’s robust national network of thousands of fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, and investors, and warm introductions to those most relevant to the participant's business
  • Membership in gener8tor’s startup community of thousands of startup founders, with access to gener8tor’s network, events, and resources for the lifetime of  the participant's business

Generally, the four weeks consists of a weekly team meeting and a weekly group meeting, two workshops per program, and a showcase to celebrate the program completion.
