Apply for prototype funding!
Apply for up to $5,000 in the MIN-Corps Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Challenge to develop a prototype that demonstrates the impact of your innovation. With support from C.H. Robinson, the MVP Challenge will award up to 30 grants ranging from $100 to $5,000 each in three divisions: Digital, Physical, and Social.
What is an MVP?
A “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP) is a tool to show customers and other stakeholders how your innovation could work and to get their feedback, and bring your project one step closer to reality. It might be just an illustration, a look-and-feel prototype, a prototype that demonstrates limited functionality, or an actual working beta prototype.
- Digital Division—Move your software or data solution closer to launch from sketching out your app to testing your early stage alpha.
- Physical Division—Bring your idea to life by building a physical prototype, from a simple "look-and-feel" model to a functional prototype.
- Social Division—Realize your vision for campus, community, or societal change through early testing of your impact solution.
The application deadline is Thursday, Dec. 15, 2023. For more information and to apply, visit the MIN-Corps MVP Challenge website.
