Offer
Big ideas often start as small, fragile ideas. Early support (both money and belief) is needed for them to grow. I run a small, fast grants program that specializes in small, new ideas. We have lots of open grant opportunities, and more coming: experiment.com/grants
NEED
I'm co-running a tiny, hybrid organization (for/non-profit). There are unique struggles and opportunities there. I'm eager to hear wisdom on organizational structures.
Call-to-Action
Consider who's next and the ideas on the margin. After years of running small grants programs, I'm convinced that more people should be doing this. I'm happy to share ideas about how to get started.
