Your Spark Fund Project

1. Describe your team. Who do you consider to be the team members that will help you throughout this Spark Fund project period? Note that we’ll expect to speak with all of your team members. (about 250 words) *

2. Describe your most impactful customer interviews. Which 3-5 people were your most important interviewees? Why were they so important? (about 500 words) *

3. Provide more detail on the R&D plan you shared before. Based on the outcomes you are trying to achieve, what specific steps will be a part of your R&D plan? How long will each step take? What steps can be done in parallel? What supplies, equipment and contractors will you need for each step? If you have specific purchases or contractors in mind, please list them and include quotes or approximate costs you have. There will be discussion during due diligence, so you can collect these quotes later if you don’t have them yet. (no word limit – if it is easier, you can upload a document below for your answer) *

If it's easier, upload a file here in answer to question 3! *
