Blue Ridge Labs is offering $40,000, office space and mentorship for its new fellowship, Catalyst (which we covered here).
“The program is meant for teams that have taken their ideas past the prototype phase but need bridge funding to build out customer traction and a sound social impact model,” according to a statement from the social incubator.

“Human beings solved their biggest problems through tools and I feel like tech is the biggest tool we’ve come up with,” explained Blue Ridge Labs’ Bill Cromie. “Catalyst is about taking ideas that have a minimum viable product and giving them the resources necessary to get them in front of more traditional funders.”
The deadline is Sunday, Aug. 23 at 11:59 p.m. Apply here.
