Microchip Get Launched
A global electronics design program to fund, manufacture, and ship amazing products
Sign up to receive updates.
Does your project showcase Microchip components?
If so, you could be eligible to enter the Microchip Get Launched electronics design program! We make great electronic components and we’re looking for equally great examples of how they’re enabling new, innovative products in the real world.
Incentives
While designing, funding, manufacturing, and shipping a new product to happy customers is a reward unto itself, it can’t hurt to have some extra incentives along the way. Microchip is partnering with Mouser Electronics and Crowd Supply to offer participants a wide array of support.
Support package for all entries
- Promotion across Microchip, Mouser Electronics, and Crowd Supply channels
- Reduced-price parts for initial production run
- Your choice of Microchip development board:
- Reduced Crowd Supply campaign fee
- Technical and marketing review consultations
Schedule
Entries can complete their 30-day Crowd Supply campaign anytime in 2021.
Eligibility
To be eligible to enter this design program, your project must:
- Uniquely showcase one or (preferably!) more Microchip components
- Pass the rigorous vetting process applied to all Crowd Supply projects
Projects are free to showcase any components in the Microchip family. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis and solely at the discretion of Microchip and Crowd Supply.
How to Enter
The first step is to fill out the Crowd Supply project submission form and mention that you’re interested in the Microchip Get Launched 2021 design program.
