Congrats to the Proof of Concept Grant Recipients!

Last July, we were approved as a partner by the Kansas Department of Commerce for the Proof of Concept grant program. Entrepreneurs can submit their applications through Groover Labs; grant applications are reviewed at the end of each quarter. Two applicants who submitted their applications through us received grants.

Congratulations to JogALong Stroller founder and Groover Labs member Mike Dresher, and Michele Valadez, a recent recipient of Wichita State University’s Center for Entrepreneurship Women in Women’s Innovation Award.

Dresher’s JogALong Stroller is three stroller activities in one vehicle: an elliptical jogging stroller, a bicycle trailer, and a standard stroller. Valadez’s Anonymous Tech, LLC is developing the 360 Car Cam, an application that offers a 360-degree view of a car’s environment.

The due date for the next application for the third quarter of FY22 is March 31, 2022.

If you’d like to apply, please contact Tracy Hoover. And if you receive the grant, consider working at Groover Labs in order to take advantage of the knowledge and experience in our community!
