> Employ at least one developer

What kind of developer? full/part-time or 1099 contractor?

Do I count as the founder? I use contractors from Eastern Europe to do frontend, does that count?

Overall seems like a very niche offering, considering $6K is peanuts these days. You can get more by applying for any of Microsoft, Google, or Amazon startup programs. MSFT for instance straight up gives > $100K in cloud credits when you are funded (and if not, how do you pay your developer?)

Is your business incorporated? I'm checking on whether contractors count towards the 1 developer requirement.

Can I incorporate tonight and apply?

It is. But the question is more hypothetical. The offer seems to have a very limited value.

Let me check on that just to be sure.
