Opportunity

Sponsored by: MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund Program

The MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund Program provides a tailored educational experience, including seed funding, mentoring, and expert advice from a broad network of committed partners.

The program is…

  • Accessible: all 11,000 MIT graduate and undergraduate students can participate. Sandbox is not a contest that “picks winners”
  • Educational: designed to fit within the traditional university experience, Sandbox helps students pursue entrepreneurial ideas alongside classwork and research activities
  • Personalized: student teams are matched with mentors and given personalized curricula that best support them in moving their ideas forward
  • Practical: students learn by doing and gain real-world experience in moving their ideas from concept to impact

Applications are now open for the Fall 2019 cohort. The application rounds are broken into two tracks — over $5K and $5K and under — with separate deadlines and slightly different processes for each.
