The UNICEF Venture Fund is looking to invest in Open Source frontier technology solutions that have the potential to create radical change for children. We are offering up to US$100K in equity-free funding for early-stage, for-profit technology start-ups that can improve the lives of children. 
 
If your company is leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as data science, artificial intelligence (AI) or blockchain, we want to hear from you! We are specifically seeking companies registered in one of UNICEF’s programme countries that have impressive working prototypes and a commitment to Open Source licensing and practices.
