Fight the Virus Challenge — $50K Investment for startups tackling the coronavirus crisis
3
The challenge is simple: take our ideas to tackle the coronavirus and turn them into reality, as fast as possible. Each startup we accept will receive $50,000 in immediate funding, with an uncapped MFN SAFE. We charge no fees & 0% equity.

Hi Product Hunt! We made Fight the Virus Challenge to encourage more people to build companies that will creatively solve for the coronavirus crisis. At the heart of what we're making is a community of super driven founders and mentors who want to make the current situation better. We think our lives will be changed forever and solve for social isolation, loneliness, homeschooling, remote work, better distribution, overload of medical care, etc. Whatever you think is important to solve for, we want to help. We invest $50K (0% equity, SAFE MFN) in each company, pair you with an experienced founder mentor who will be your friend and push you to focus and build fast and an online community of equally motivated humans who want to make things better. We'll have cheese and wine nights with super experienced founders (online) and play video games once a week to cool off the steam. Let me, Gadi or Kieran know if you have any questions :)

As Churchhill once said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. A crisis is a time when we are all forced to rise to the occasion; when we ourselves must become as great as the times demand. This is how we thought we could be the most useful in this crisis -- to inspire the right people to have the biggest impact they can possibly have.
