buildspace starter grant.
we're looking to give 100 builders $100 — $500 to build any project this summer.
every week during nights & weekends s5, we'll pick 10-15 ppl and send them $100-$500.
we're calling this a "starter grant" because we wanna help people who are just starting out. we know how hard it is — and sometimes a little help can go a long way.
so, this grant is perfect for beginning builders or students in college or high school.
don't worry about what your project is:
as long as you're passionate about it, then you have a shot at the grant.
we want to be extremely clear:
this is not a sweepstakes.
this is not a giveaway.
this is a time to prove yourself through the work.
how it works:
you apply to nights & weekends s5 — starts on june 15.
don't know what n&w is? get info here.
each week over the 6-weeks, you'll need to push your idea forward.
we'll help out along the way with lectures + connecting you to cool ppl.
each week, we'll pick 10-15 people each week to give the grant to.
we'll pick people based on progress made each week.
we didn't want to create some sort of bullshit application for this grant, we want to give the money to people who are actually gonna follow through.
and, whats the best way to see that? by just seeing you do the work during nights & weekends s5.
okay, wanna apply?
you just gotta do two things:
1. apply to n&w s5 here — it'll take 60s.
2. after applying, fill out your profile.
that's it.
after that? the work starts. we'll see you june 15.
