The NYU Prototyping Fund is a collaborative program offered by the Greenhouse at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute that awards teams of students up to $500 in the first round of funding and up to $2000 in the second to be used to build hardware or software prototypes, and connects them with the resources, tools, and mentors they need to bring their ideas to life.
