| Hey everyone, cool to see this being shared again. I'm Patrick, one of the mentors for this Incubator. Lots of chatter in this thread already, but just want to reiterate what we're offering / looking for in this Incubator: We have 3 different offerings for this Summer. All incubator style, meaning you meet weekly or biweekly with mentors and we really try to help drive you from point A to point C. 1. $75k investment in a startup. MUST be serious about wanting to build something awesome and put in the hard work it takes to do so. 2. $16k funding in a much earlier stage project (idea stage / MVP stage). MUST be serious about commitment it takes to get to launch. 3. OPEN LABS: these are open to the entire community and you have access to the mentors. 10 min checkins each week & peer sessions. We've had TONS of amazing projects for our Open Labs in the Spring and we hope to see TONS more for the Summer. In terms of MISSION and what we're looking for: We started this new incubator out of Mozilla in order to work with & invest in developers, startups, and technology enthusiasts who are building things that will shape the internet and have a positive impact without needing to hyper focus on the bottom line. Projects, apps, & technologies that will be huge and a big part of the internet ecosystem while also being in line with Mozilla's mission of an open web & ethos of "Privacy over Profit". Comment below if you have any questions about the programs and we'll be happy to answer them. |
