Seed funding increased to 80,000 baht and second-round funding to 250,000 baht
When the project resumed after COVID-19, funding for both rounds was increased from the original structure used since B.E. 2554.
Translated from Thai · reviewed by the CF team
BC4C’s original funding structure, established when the project began, provided seed funding of 50,000 baht per team for a 3-month market-testing period and a further 200,000 baht for teams that reached the final round. When the project resumed after a pause in B.E. 2563, funding for both rounds was increased to 80,000 baht and 250,000 baht respectively. This structure has remained in place through the latest cohort.
The funding increase reflects the higher cost of doing business amid changing economic conditions, and the project’s intention to give Champions enough resources to test their ideas more seriously.
Data note: The project reports do not clearly state the year in which the funding was increased. The date of this record is therefore an estimate based on when the project resumed. Please check with ChangeFusion to confirm the exact year.
