Launching the 5th edition of the Elisava Crowdfunding Challenge

If you have a promising idea and want to take it to the next level, this is your chance. Elisava Crowdfunding Challenge is back with its fifth edition, an initiative promoted by Elisava Alumni to support students and Alumni Bold in the development and launch of their projects.

Since its first edition, the Elisava Crowdfunding Challenge has become a launchpad for innovative ideas within the Elisava community. Through this program, participants receive strategic guidance to design and execute their crowdfunding campaign with the goal of financing and validating their project in the market.

This initiative is led by Valentí Acconcia, crowdfunding consultant and Elisava professor, who has extensive experience in managing successful campaigns. Since 2011, he has worked with leading crowdfunding platforms, helping numerous projects raise funds and connect with their community of potential customers and supporters.

If you are a bachelor’s, master’s, or postgraduate student at Elisava, or a member of the Alumni Bold community, you can submit your application for this edition.

Selected participants will follow a structured methodology that includes:

• Defining goals and strategy: Identifying key elements for an effective campaign.
• Campaign planning: Creating a timeline with milestones and specific actions for each phase.
• Personalized mentoring: Guidance from Valentí Acconcia to optimize communication and project promotion.
• Networking with a community of entrepreneurs: Opportunities to interact with other professionals and expand your network.

Previous editions have seen projects like Ticc, FlipN’Clack, P-ON, and Byōdō* come to life thanks to this initiative. Crowdfunding has enabled the launch of innovative products, the validation of business models, and the empowerment of designers in their entrepreneurial journey.

The application period for the 5th edition of the Elisava Crowdfunding Challenge is open until March 17. Don’t miss this opportunity to take the leap and bring your project to life with the support of Elisava Alumni and expert guidance.
