B-Lab Summer Accelerator
About the program · 2 linked sources
B-Lab is Brown's eight-week summer accelerator for Brown and RISD students building ventures. Eligible currently enrolled full-time Brown or RISD undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students, and graduating seniors, can receive a $4,000 scholarly fellowship award. The venture-support page also mentions Summer Earnings Waiver support for eligible Brown students. Alumni and students from other schools may join only with a currently enrolled Brown or RISD co-founder, and they are not eligible for the scholarly award. A team that has already done B-Lab cannot apply again. The page says teams may also apply to the Brown Venture Prize.
