Fundraising and communication
In an entrepreneurship context, we had to collect funds to develop our project and we had to communicate on it in order to gain visibility and to catch people's attention.
The report we made deals with how we collected all the necessary funds to send 9 people to Boston and pay for the lab experiments.
It might be useful for future iGEM teams willing to collect a similar amount of money.
We raised around 16 000€ in different ways:
Institutional sponsors: Sup’Biotech and EPITA universities
Volunteering events: Paris half-marathon and marathon, Bois de Boulogne 10km, The Vélotour, the Disney runs.

- Public funds: The mayor’s office of Sèvres, the French Embassy in the USA, the French Research ministry, and Val de Marne county.
- Private sponsors: Chamorin company, Les Mousquetaires Intermarché, Europa Bio.
Picture 2: Part of our team meeting a private company
- Selling food to students of our school: iGEM week and other cake sales
Picture 3: iGEM week, food stand
- Fundraising with Kickstarter :
The Kickstarter was launched on the 28th of August and ends on 27th of October. We managed to attain our goal, raising 2 607€ and therefore financed at 104%. We thank everybody that helped us reach our financial goal!
Overview of the Kickstarter Campaign
On social networks we published every week about our work, who we met (iGEM teams, professionals, winemakers, etc…) and also advertising our Kickstarter page and our team members. This allowed to share our project and progress to the world.
If you wish to know more about how we managed this amazing quest for funds, do not hesitate to read our Fundraising and Communication report dealing in details with all these different steps that we have taken.
