Wildfire, The Garage's pre-accelerator program, is accepting applications for Summer 2020.
 
10 teams.
10 weeks.
10 thousand dollars.
 
We are looking for student teams that want to take their startup to the next level.
 
Wildfire will run for 10 weeks, from June 22 through August 26, 2020. The program will be held virtually unless on-campus events can resume by the summer. Teams will be awarded $10,000 to work on their venture over the summer. $5,000 will be paid to the teams during the first week of the program. The second payment, of up to $5,000, will be made the week after the program ends, and will be based on weekly deliverables being met. If all deliverables are met each week, the full $5,000 will be paid.

Demo Day, at which Wildfire teams will compete for $10,000 in prizes, will be held on the last day of the program, Wednesday, August 26, 2020.

Round Two:
Applications open on Monday, April 6 at 9:00 AM CST.
Applications close on Sunday, April 19 at 11:59 PM CST.
Teams may be asked to pitch via Zoom during the week of April 27.
Accepted teams will be notified no later than May 8.
