Our Crowdfunding Groups
Your donation goes towards 3 reusable water bottles and 3 coffee mugs for each team to go green instead of using disposable cups. That's a saving of around 2,700 cups during the program!
Thanks to your donation, each team will receive 3 signed copies of Talking to Humans, a book about customer discovery written by Giff Constable.
Our guest speakers are a crucial part of Summer Launchpad as participants get to candidly dive into the insights of entrepreneurs, investors and others who've been there and done that. Your donation supports a gift to each guest speaker.
Each Summer Launchpad team will receive $100 for prototyping materials to build their hardware or software. They'll have you to thank as they look back on the first prototype they ever built!
Our teams work hard, and they get hungry. Twice a week, we serve our teams breakfast to help start the day. Thank you for keeping our Summer Launchpad participants full, caffeinated and ready to work.
Each week, Summer Launchpad hosts a "Founders Unplugged" event where participants can ask accomplished NYU alumni entrepreneurs anything. Yes, anything! Your donation will cover the cost for refreshments to keep the engagements lively and productive.
