Questions.

What is the time commitment?

Standard and Premium partners take part in at least one live engagement each semester, either virtually or in person.

What does the $100 Nightshift meal cover?

It feeds one Nightshift session. We name the meal partner at the event and in the recap, then share a photo of what the contribution covered.

Can we partner on one event?

Yes. We can build a one-off partnership around Nightshift, a workshop, or a demo day.

Do you accept in-kind partnerships?

Yes, when the software, hardware, credits, or services create real value for Purdue founders.

How does the official tool designation work?

Premium partners can hold an exclusive category for their term. buildpurdue will not promote a competing provider in that category.

Put something useful in founders' hands.
