Funding Your Startup
Posted by Andrew Hyde
Funding is tough. Very tough. I wrote on my personal blog about a $5,000,000 a year grant being given out, funding many great startups a year like spot.us.
But I think this is a better venue to talk about it.
The grant? The Knight News Challenge.
Before this project, I thought of all grants as inaccessible, with too many rules. Not anymore. From their site:
There are three rules to follow to apply to the 2008-09 Knight News Challenge:
- Use or create digital, open-source technology as the code base.
- Serve the public interest.
- Benefit one or more specific geographic communities.
That is it! Come up with an innovative project and apply!
It is due on November 1st, so hurry up! I want to see a wide range of Startup Weekend Alumni with funded projects!
