Anticipated Expense Reimbursement Needs

How much do you think you'll need in funding to explore your idea?*

This is an estimate. You won't be limited to this amount. That having been said, be as LEAN as possible!!! Large dollar amounts might be a cause for concern.

How would the funds be used?*

Again, this is just a guess at this point.

Other Needs

Explain any holes in your team that you think you will need to fill. If none, type "none".*

When would you like to get started on your work with VentureLab?*

Is there anything else that you’d like the VentureLab Intake Committee to know when considering your application?
