Compagna-Sennett Iterate and Expand Grant
Up to $5,000
The Compagna-Sennett Iterate and Expand Grant, made possible through the generosity of Robert Compagna ’76 and Joan Sennett ’76 through their Compagna-Sennett Entrepreneurial Seed Fund, is intended for teams that have already identified an unmet need and are ready to test the value proposition of their product or service. This may involve building a prototype or minimal viable product (MVP) to test the product-market fit.
