Oculus Fund

The Oculus Fund is an annual grant of $10,000 awarded to a Battle Creek-based for-profit startup company. The Oculus Fund began in 2022 and gets its name from its generous host, 3Eye Technologies. To create more startups and jobs in Battle Creek, the Oculus Fund hopes to “open” opportunities for a bigger and brighter BC. All you need to register is an idea and a pitch. There is no restriction on the type of idea that a creator can submit, but it is important to remember that it is all about advancing the idea. We expect creators to have a business plan that shows how the funds would advance them to the next step.
