Got an Awesome idea? Would a grand help kick it off?
Fiddian is delighted to be a founding trustee of the Awesome Foundation’s London Chapter launched today. The Awesome micro funding concept is soooo.... simple, no strings, no contracts. The ten trustees put a £100 a month into the fund, folk submit a 2,500 character proposal, the best 10 make diddy presentations at our monthly event, the winner walks with £1,000, huzzah! Oh it’s $1,000 in the USofA you lucky luverly Lundoners! There are just two rules about the submitted idea: 1.It’s awesome 2.The money has a meaningful impact on its realisation All we ask is that winners come back to the event sometime and tell how their project went. No idea is too small.
