Turns Out You Have Two MVPs

No, that’s not a typo. Turns out your team has two MVPs: a minimum viable product and a most valuable player. This article is about the second MVP.

Find out who your MVP is this April. Raise the Rim is a three on three, charity basketball tournament coinciding with March Madness, that celebrates local innovation, teamwork and healthy competition -- all the while raising money for local charities that are doing great things. Last year we raised $2,776 for Future Founders Foundation, and this year we plan to raise even more for FFF. We’re gathering teams, taking donations, and getting warmed up for a day of healthy competition on the court. Will your startup or tech team join us?

 

You don’t have to be a pro to play with us. Each city has over 24 teams of varying experience, and it’s more about the celebration than the trophy. (Though, the traveling trophy is pretty sweet.) Whether you’re an employee, founder, VC or community member makes no difference. Register a team on Eventbrite and get ready to have a ball.

 

Feel free to reach out to the Startup Institute team if you have any questions or are interested in sponsoring/donating raffle items: [email protected].

 

A special thank you to our event sponsor WeWork, the platform for creators. They provide the space, community, and services that you need to create your life's work.
