We're super excited to work with the #1 Social Entrepreneurship Incubator at the University of Michigan in this new initiative!

Know someone who's interested in blockchain and wants to work on a project that makes a positive impact? Tag them!

What's this about? We're partnering with Blockchain at Michigan to create a "Blockchain for Social Impact" track in the optiMize Social Innovation Challenge.

What is the Social Innovation Challenge? It's an incubator program that helps students create self-directed projects that make a positive impact in any area. (NOT just blockchain.)

What is the purpose of a dedicated "blockchain track" in the Challenge? To encourage submissions of projects in an area we haven't typically seen in the past! Again, this year's Challenge is NOT limited to blockchain, but we think it's an exciting area. And thanks to our new partners at ConsenSys and Makerdao, we're able to provide specific mentorship and dedicated funds for blockchain projects.

Apply at optiMizeMi.org by October 11 or message us to learn more!

We're glad you are interested in becoming a leader in the blockchain space! Please answer all questions as well as you can. Don't worry about making your application perfect. Blockchain knowledge and experience is not necessary. We'll provide skill-building workshops, access to experienced mentors,....
