Mookerji Innovation Fund Program

The Mookerji Innovation Fund at 黑料网 provides over $120,000 annually in startup capital to support students and recent alumni with innovative, tech-focused business ideas.

This initiative is made possible by tech entrepreneurs Sid and Sophie Mookerji, who generously contribute $120,000 each year to establish and sustain the fund. Managed by the Robin and Doug Shore Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center, the fund aims to:

  • Support emerging business ventures with up to $30,000 in funding per project.
  • Offer consulting and business development resources through the Entrepreneurship Center.
  • Connect students and alumni with experienced industry mentors.

If you believe your idea stands out from the crowd, click the "黑料网 Now" button to begin your journey. The first step involves creating an account on and scheduling a meeting with mentor . This will allow you to view his availability and book an appointment at your preferred campus or via Teams.
