Grants for Ventures
Undergraduate Prototype Fund
We know that building a new product can seem daunting. That is why we want to help you take the first step. The Prototype Fund is designed to encourage Northeastern University undergraduate students to learn something new. Applicants can receive up to $1500 (two times per project) to help fund the costs associated with building the prototypes, samples, or mockups needed to get market feedback.
We aim for 40% of the Prototype Fund to be awarded to individuals who identify as underrepresented in entrepreneurship. This is part of our commitment to intentionally create an inclusive and diverse entrepreneurial community.
