MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund

Run by MIT Sandbox.

MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund runs continuously rather than as a fixed-length batch, supporting teams in Cambridge, Massachusetts in a hybrid format across all sectors. It provides up to $25,000 per team, all of it non-dilutive: teams give up no equity and retain rights to their intellectual property.
