Scalable Grant: Up to $25k available for work done with local manufacturers.

March 22, 2020

IW’s has $25,000 in Scalable Grants available for startups that are looking to take their hardware to the next level of production. The $25,000 comes in the form of reimbursements for expenses incurred with manufacturers located in the 8 counties surrounding Allegheny County (Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Lawrence, Washington, & Westmoreland).

 

The best applications will detail why 1) solving your current manufacturing challenges is the top priority for your business and 2) your relationship with the local manufacturer will continue to grow and be mutually beneficial. Here is how the process works:

 

Apply here. The sooner the better; we’d love to work with you to refine your proposal.

You may submit multiple ideas, or submit a revised proposal at a later date.

Applications will be reviewed on April 7th.

If you’re accepted, we will work with you to outline a scope of work, timeline, vendors, reimbursement maximum, and cost estimates.

Once the project begins, you provide proof of expense incurred and IW reimburses you for 50% of each eligible expense up to an agreed maximum total reimbursement.
