How Venture Scholarships can help you

Create valuable relationships with hand selected, high-quality startups.

Grow your brand presence in strategic industries or sectors with a fully customisable scholarship plan.

How the program works

The annual scholarship program for new or existing startups involves 2 intakes per year (6 months apart).

Starting with a kickoff meeting, we’ll discuss your strategic objectives and which industries or sectors you’d like us to target. From there, the Stone & Chalk team will create a program with you, from planning out the application process to creating the marketing and promotional documents.

Winners of the scholarship will receive:

Paid residency (on your behalf) at Stone & Chalk for 1 year (residency cost based on average startup size of 3 people) including full access to Stone & Chalk’s networks, growth programs and office spaces.
Monthly office hours (45–60 minutes) with your talent.
Procurement ready program for startups in partnership with your business.
Connectivity to your customers and real-world problems.
The ability to pitch to your business at the end of the residency for an opportunity to partner (or more) with you.
