Founder Grants: Fund a startup without giving up equity

I also like reading stories such as "what are the first things you should do when you win the lottery" when I'm feeling bored.

That was an unexpected good read.

well, I did find a grant in my own city (Montreal) which I did not know about

so there is some value to it

Grants are so oddly specific

most of the amounts are not game-changing, though

well, might be for someone starting off

For anyone interested, this isn't a loan, it's just a grant aggregation site. Honestly crazy bizarre marketing in the title "Fund a startup without giving up equity", like do people not know what grants are...?

Based on the weird marketing and pushing me to make an account, I imagine they will try to "pivot" this to being some form of bland generic social network in the next few months

It's more likely to pivot to lead-gen for the VCs that back this play https://www.1517fund.com

Maybe they use it to be first in line for the business that have "it"
