The E-Team Program helps student teams kickstart their innovation through a powerful mix of grant funding and entrepreneurship training. Teams can unlock up to $25,000 to launch their ideas, and the VentureWell team works closely with each venture to explore possible pathways for their innovation as they advance through the VentureWell Accelerator.

The program is looking to support projects with the following qualities:

1. Social/Environmental Impact: Inventions that will scale to address a pressing social, health, or environmental need. We fund innovations that can solve challenges including health, food security, energy, and climate change. See website for examples.
2. Science- and Engineering-Based Inventions: An innovation that is different from other competing technologies.
3. Intent To Commercialize: A strong commitment to exploring commercialization of your innovation.
4. Student Team Identified: Teams that include two or more students and a faculty advisor.
