Startups working at the intersection of climate and health, developing technology solutions for children, would be happy to know that the UNICEF Venture Fund is inviting such startups to apply for its Climate Ventures cohort.
Selected applicants will be eligible to receive up to US $100,000 in equity-free funding for early-stage and deployment-ready technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and blockchain. To be considered, companies must be registered in one of UNICEF's programme countries, must possess working prototypes, and must demonstrate a firm commitment to open-source licensing and practices. Applications from women-led startups and young founders are strongly encouraged.
