KickStart VT
About the program · 1 linked sources
KickStart VT is a recurring micro-grant pitch series for Virginia Tech students in the Startup Hokies Incubator program. At each event, up to $2,500 in equity-free milestone scholarship awards is distributed across top teams (up to $500 per team). Students present their concepts and receive real-time feedback from experienced professionals.
The application process involves submitting through StartupTree; a selection committee invites presenters. Teams must wait at least one KickStart cycle before reapplying and must submit an updated video highlighting progress. This is milestone funding designed to advance development, not a winner-takes-all competition.
