Fletcher D-Prize Brainstorming Sessions

If you had $30,000, how would you fight poverty?

Four years ago, the Fletcher School and D-Prize launched a unique social entrepreneurship competition, combining Fletcher’s interdisciplinary, holistic problem solving around the world’s most pressing development issues with D-Prize’s ability to find and fund poverty fighting ventures. Imagine, you can distribute a proven social venture idea, receive valuable feedback from venture capitalists, and win up to $20K in cash with additional $10K in-kind support to start your venture. And you can fulfill your capstone requirement all while doing your summer internship or making it a post Fletcher experience that builds your business skills – all while having real world impact.

Fletcher D-Prize invites all budding Fletcher/Tufts social entrepreneurs – in any stage of formation – with support from faculty, staff, and alumni to focus your energy and talent on distributing proven poverty solutions. This could be your summer internship, your capstone, you post Fletcher experience which builds your business skills. This could be your way to have real world impact.

The Fletcher D-Prize provides internationally-savvy students with the support and funding to launch a social venture while still in graduate school. For more details, visit: http://www.fletcher.tufts.edu/d-prize.
