Big Ideas is the University of California, Berkeley’s innovation contest and grant programme. Teams pitch a project, are mentored through it, and the strongest receive funding.

Emzini weCode was funded through it while its founder was a student at Berkeley, which is the reason the early classes could run at all.

Back something specific.

A club at a named school, a cohort, a hackathon. It is easier to report on and easier to believe than a general fund.
