Benefits of D-PRIZE Distribution Equals Development Challenge

Top entrepreneurs interview via phone and email.  The top 1-2% will receive up to $20,000 to launch.

You will spend the next three months using your talent to start a venture that can grow and help millions of people.

Requirements for D-PRIZE Distribution Equals Development Challenge

D-Prize is for aspiring entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world, of any age, and any background.

We will consider funding existing organizations only if: you are piloting a new distribution-focused initiative, and you need high risk capital.

You should have enormous ambition, and can imagine yourself as a successful entrepreneur. You are ready to launch your new venture, and - if a pilot proves successful – you are excited to grow it into a world changing organization.
If you are still a student or have existing commitments, you should have a clear idea how to transition into a full-time founder.
D-Prize is exclusively interested in ventures that will scale distribution of an already proven poverty intervention in the developing world. We do not fund prototypes of promising new
interventions.
