What happens at GetFUNDED!

Starting bright and early we kick things off with an icebreaker exercise, and then people pitch their research concepts to attendees. 5-10 concepts attract viable teams around them.

During the first evening, you sketch out your concept in some detail and everyone is assigned roles and has an inkling of how they're going to achieve their goals over the next 24 hours.

On the second morning, you start preparing your final 5-minute presentation, which your team pitches at the end of the day.

After that, prizes are awarded to the best teams. Where you go from there is up to you. The real value is in the skills, new friends, and access to resources you require.
