Hosted by: MIT D-Lab

The MIT D-Lab Scale-Ups Fellowship application is now open through May 5.

This year, the fellowship will begin July 1, 2017 and end June 30, 2018. As in recent years, MIT alumni, alumni of Harvard and Wellesley who have taken a D-Lab class, and IDIN network members are eligible to apply.

D-Lab Scale-Ups Fellows receive a $20,000 grant, tailored mentorship, skills-building, and networking opportunities. Fellows enter the program with a compelling proof-of-concept, and a few to thousands of units tested or sold. During the 12-month fellowship, entrepreneurs work to retire risk in technical feasibility and market viability, thereby positioning their ventures for investment, partnership, and growth.

Since the fellowship program’s launch in 2012, Scale-Ups has sponsored 27 fellows working on four continents in sectors including agriculture, energy, water, healthcare, housing, mobility and recycling.
