Scholarship

The Marketplace Risk Scholarship Program provides a unique opportunity for marketplaces and digital platforms to attend the highly regarded Marketplace Risk Management Conference. Individuals impacted by layoffs and bootstrapped/unfunded startups can qualify for complimentary and discounted registration fees.

About the Scholarship Program

In order to attract marketplace and sharing economy startups that are bootstrapped and/or unfunded, we recognize that we must remove barriers to participation. At a minimum, we offer scholarships in the form of complimentary and discounted registration fees to those who qualify, including for startups in the marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and collaborative economy, that would not otherwise attend the Marketplace Risk Management Conference but for the scholarship program.

Qualifications

Founder or Employee

A founder or employee of a bootstrapped and/or unfunded marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and/or collaborative economy startup.

Entrepreneur or Innovator

You are an entrepreneur or innovator who is interested in the marketplace, sharing, gig, on-demand, peer-to-peer and/or collaborative economy.

Unable to Attend Otherwise

You must show that you would not otherwise attend the Marketplace Risk Management Conference but for the scholarship program.

No Vendors or Service Providers

Please note that the Scholarship Program is not open to vendors or service providers.

Application Process

This is even simpler than the qualifications. Simply contact us describing your interest in the Marketplace Risk Management Conference along with your qualifications (1 or 2 from above). Keep in mind, although we interpret the qualification requirements pretty loosely, we want to ensure that scholarships go to those who need it and who would benefit the most. We will let you know pretty quickly thereafter. Once we do, simply register and attend the entire Marketplace Risk Management Conference, and fill out the surveys for each session that you attend. Once the conference is over and we confirm your attendance and all surveys have been completed, you will be refunded the registration fees. It's as simple as that!
