Web FWD supports Open Web innovators by providing a space at Mozilla where they can build their products. We are creating a workshop environment where bold ideas can be realized  and bare-bones prototypes can develop and go forward as products.<\/p>\n<h3>How<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ll host small teams at Mozilla&#8217;s global offices for four weeks at a time, giving them access to our people, tools and resources, so they can focus on building. We&#8217;re looking for playful, useful, original problem-solving applications and tools that make the Web a better place.<\/p>\n<p>During the four week program, teams will work in-house alongside the Mozilla crew. You\u2019ll receive mentorship and guidance from some of the brightest people around, allowing you to focus on bringing your product idea to life.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of four weeks, you&#8217;ll have a minimum viable product ready to go out on the Open Web. And together we can decide on how to take this product forward.<\/p>\n<p><video width=\"640\" height=\"360\" controls><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/webfwd\/webfwd.mp4\"  type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/webfwd\/webfwd.webm\" type=\"video\/webm\" \/><source src=\"http:\/\/videos.mozilla.org\/serv\/webfwd\/webfwd.ogv\"  type=\"video\/ogg\" \/><object width=\"640\" height=\"360\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=otunbDTGnUI\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=otunbDTGnUI\" \/><\/object><br \/><\/video><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>What we offer<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The opportunity to work alongside the Mozilla crew in one of our offices<\/li>\n<li>Access to key Mozilla personnel, introductions to interesting people and industry leaders<\/li>\n<li>Regular mentorship sessions with experts on technology, scalability, security, marketing, community, and business strategy<\/li>\n<li>Financial support during the program<\/li>\n<li>Help with IT infrastructure (servers, software, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>A great coworking experience with plenty of fun &amp; awesomeness!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What we look for<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The product fits into one of the predefined problem areas<\/li>\n<li>The product is developed with the traits that are important for the open Web<\/li>\n<li>The team has at least the kernel of a product (i.e. some working code, not only an idea)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The  program runs on a rolling submission schedule with the first spots opening in August.
