Launched in 2010, the Rock Accelerator (previously known as the Minimum Viable Product Award) is designed to help students who are using the lean startup methodology and developing a minimum viable product. To learn more about this set of ideas, visit Eric Ries' blog, Lessons Learned, Eric Ries' response to an Inc Magazine article on Minimum Viable Product and the article, The Minimum Viable Product Dissected.

There will be two rounds of Rock Accelerator Awards in the 2012-2013 academic year. Details for round 2 are below; please note that the deadline for submissions will be just before the start of classes, on Friday, January 25, 2013 at 12:00 noon.
Round 2 is open to both RCs and ECs.
For Round 2, awards of approximately $50,000 will be made to student teams with a target of ten $5,000 awards. The deadline for round 2 applications will be Friday, January 25, 2013 at 12:00 noon. Both the poll and softcopy application materials must be submitted by this date. NOTE: the electronic version should be a SINGLE PDF with the title being the last name of the team leader and must be received by Alice Moses (amoses@hbs.edu) the January 25 12:00 noon deadline. Late applications will not be accepted.
We also expect that we will have more applications than we can fund and therefore that the process will be competitive. Awards will be determined by a joint faculty and student committee. The exact process will sift the paper applications down to a set of finalists, and then those finalists will make live presentations to the committee and a final selection made.
Contact Alice Moses (amoses@hbs.edu) with any questions.
