Program Overview

Not every idea needs to be a fully fledged company or make tons of $$$. We want to find people who want to try crazy things—just to see what happens.

What Gets Funded

  • Crazy ideas that are tech-related
  • Projects that demonstrate enough depth to warrant funds (no joke applications)
  • Projects that can go from 0 → 1 with under $500

What Doesn't Get Funded

  • Budgets with vague requests, ad/subscription money, or Fiverr/contractor funds
  • Non-unique AI wrappers, product dupes, or social clubs
  • Projects with existing grants, VC money, or where applicants can easily self-fund $500

Application Guide

Answer these questions in your application:

  1. Whatcha workin on?
  2. Why are you working on it?
  3. Why do you build?
  4. What's your coolest past project?
    • (Feel free to add links here to anything you want us to check out)
  5. You're at a family event and your great aunt Brenda asks what you're working on—how would you explain it to her?
