Why Support Matters
Direct Impact on Students
Each contribution funds a program seat, covering travel, housing, and program costs for an admitted student who demonstrates financial need.
Global Reach
Contributions enable students from outside the United States to attend the program in Cambridge and Providence.
No Founder Turned Away
Admission is independent of ability to pay. Contributions ensure that demonstrated financial need does not prevent an admitted applicant from attending.
Lasting Returns
Participants leave the program with operational skills, assigned mentors, and a built venture, and return to their home countries to operate ventures and employ others.
What Comes Next
The program has developed a network of alumni operating ventures in their home communities. The objectives below are planned for subsequent program cycles.
Expand Access to New Regions
Extending the program to additional regions so that participants travel shorter distances and wait less time to attend.
Year-Round Mentorship
Extending mentorship beyond the 10-day program so that participants retain access to advisors after the closing event.
Regional Hubs Worldwide
Establishing program hubs in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia to reduce participant travel distance.
Alumni Venture Fund
Establishing a micro-fund to invest in ventures built during the program.
