The Mona Impact Grant received thousands of applications from founders working on critical challenges – expanding access to education, financial tools, community resources, healthcare, and services that help people live healthier, more stable lives. We’re grateful to every entrepreneur who applied and for the work they’re doing to serve their communities, and are thrilled to celebrate Three Little Ducks as the winner of the inaugural Mona Impact Grant.

Mona was selected as a finalist in the 2026 Harvard President’s Innovation Challenge – one of 25 ventures chosen across all 11 Harvard schools. The President’s Innovation Challenge is Harvard’s flagship venture competition, spotlighting founders tackling pressing challenges across sectors.

We’re partnering with Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses in Southwest Ohio and Sinclair Workforce Development for Funding for Founders: A Practical Access to Capital Workshop + Follow-On Coaching on Wednesday, February 11 at 2 p.m ET.

Harvard Innovation Labs’ latest feature spotlights Mona’s journey, and our mission to make affordable capital more accessible for small businesses across the country.
