SPONSORS’ FAQs
How does the MassRobotics model work?
MassRobotics is funded by sponsorships, resident fees, custom programming and federal and state grants. Our nonprofit model takes financially vested elements out of the equation and lets us provide true escalation to help sponsors, resident startups and the overall community grow to be successful.
How does MassRobotics serve and engage SPONSORs?
MassRobotics provides custom solutions on approach, positioning and involvement with our robotics community. The most successful sponsorships have been high-touch engagements where the sponsors embed themselves into the community. We recognize the wealth of thought leadership that comes from large corporates, academia and startups. This is augmented with speaking engagements, events and direct introductions that often result in proof of concepts and investments.
Can I provide in-kind?
A fair amount of sponsors provide some pairing of an in-kind of their product or a product highlighted as a great need in our workspace. Due to our nonprofit model, sponsorships must have monetary provision as part of the annual agreement. That said, the in-kind can offset this annual fee with credit.
Are there SPONSORship tiers?
There are currently three tiers of sponsorship: Basic, Enhanced and Strategic. The level corresponds with how involved and customized your company would like to be with MassRobotics activities and engagement.
What is the typical size of SPONSOR companies?
Sponsor companies’ revenue is usually $100M+.
I don’t meet the revenue requirement, how can I engage?
We recognize that smaller/midsize suppliers, manufacturers and service providers would like to get involved with the community. To be fair to the high-touch nature and cost paired with traditional sponsorship we developed a program called the Associated Network that allows affiliation with MassRobotics (and a yearly in-person event). The Associated Network is limited to companies with revenue no greater than $50M.
I am not sure I can afford SPONSORship or Associated Network, how can I engage?
