University of Oregon, $34,000
Launch in the RAIN is an opportunity for students to work on a University of Oregon Product Design innovation studio class in the physical space of the RAIN (Regional Accelerator and Innovation Network) in Eugene. The PI will allow students outside of the class to join the team and the two team leaders will be supported within the course. Resulting E-Teams who want to continue work beyond the course will be encouraged to apply to existing programs such as the RAIN accelerator program, VentureWell’s E-Team Program, RAINmaker SEED grants, and/or Oregon’s New Venture Championship Program.
