BNY Mellon and Bridgeway Capital are joining as Challenge Partners this year in the UpPrize funding competition. This year's focus areas include access to healthy foods and innovative technology. UpPrize is the world’s first impact investing fund coupled with a research-based social innovation challenge. The goal is to support purpose-driven innovation by investing in companies working on a set of key social challenges. All entrepreneurs, from start-ups to well-established firms are invited to submit their existing products or product ideas to any of the three UpPrize challenge areas. UpPrize was created through a unique partnership between BNY Mellon, the BNY Mellon Foundation of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and The Forbes Funds.
