The Milestone Community Kickstarter program was recently launched in November 2016. Participants had one month to submit their integration ideas to Milestone and those ideas would then be reviewed and narrowed down to five finalists. Those finalist would compete for the grand prize of US$10,000 cash, US$40,000 in marketing and development services, and other Milestone assistance. All five finalists were invited to MIPS 2017 in San Antonio, where they could present their ideas and solutions to other Community members, as well as to the Milestone Product Advisory Board, who then made the final selection.
