Hinman CEOs Alumni Fund

• Introduction
• Giving to the Fund

Introduction

Hinman CEOs students can apply for funding, available in increments of $500 to $5,000, by writing a business plan. A committee comprised of Hinman alumni and Mtech senior staff will evaluate each proposal. Applicants may be asked to present their ideas to the committee. Funding recipients will be selected based upon each business plan’s value proposition, as well as its probability of success within a reasonable timeframe.

The committee will provide feedback to all student teams regardless of the decision. Students may apply again.

Mtech staff will mentor each winning company and oversee the use of funding. Hinman alumni may assist companies and provide professional networks.

Approved funding uses include, but are not limited to, expenses relating to legal work for company formation, patents, licensing, contracts, and other legal needs, as well as marketing costs for research or advertising the proposed product or service.
