Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship

Explore Grants

Explore grants are designed to fund a team’s early bottom-up research so that they can better find and validate an unmet need. All venture types are encouraged to apply, and they will meet with a member of the Nelson Center staff to discuss their venture and bottom-up research. Nelson Center staff may also refer teams to Brown alumni and industry experts to help them with this research. 

Watch our Executive Director, Danny Warshay, present on “The Entrepreneurial Process: Bottom-Up Research” to learn more about our approach and process to the first step in finding and validating an unmet need.
