Someone suggested that there should be a place that documents a list of grants + deadlines in my last post, so I’ve gone ahead and put together a list of grants, crowdfunding platforms, and other resources that can help you get off the ground with no upfront costs!
If you know of other grants or resources, please feel free to create a pull request :)
Where can I find the opposite: join a community of funders, which already has the filtering and application process figured out? There are a lot of us who’d love to help others get started, but you don’t want to have thousands of different applications, all with slightly different requirements.
I agree! I'd love to put a platform like this together but since I lack connections I would probably have a hard time finding funders that would use it.
If open source quantum computing is your thing then https://unitary.fund/ could use help supporting and mentoring projects. We're domain specific, but this might be a model others can follow.
https://twitter.com/MolochDAO. This is crypto based, but exactly your idea. A smart contract based way to join a group of funders who vote on funding proposals that are brought to them.
Depending on how much 'project' we're leaning, this misses the rather large pool of funds that is SBIR. Not easy, or fast, but can put some oomph behind a project.
