Topic: Contact Summit Related Projects Seeking Funding<http://groups.google.com/group/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet/t/4796ffc599cc57bd> Suresh Fernando <[email protected]> Aug 09 10:44AM -0700 ^<#131b12fe2c1a6a83_digest_top> Hey Everyone, Further to my email yesterday relating sponsorship for Contact, I am interested in exploring creative new ways to engage funding sources. Since the larger objective of CONTACT is to bring about a better world and many of us are working on projects that are aligned with this, I want to explore funding strategies that align the interests of CONTACT, smaller projects and funding sources. How exactly this might work is not clear to me but since I have started to reach out to funding sources, it makes sense for me to get a better sense of the projects that we are working on that require capital. Also, as many of you may know, there is an interesting discussion shaping up in the Next Edge Facebook Group<http://www.facebook.com/groups/120497731371323/>in which I have just started a document to track Contact Projects Seeking Funding< http://www.facebook.com/groups/120497731371323/doc/?id=140023622752067>. Please fill in the details if you are planning on attending Contact, are a part of an early stage project seeking funding, and are interested in exploring creative funding strategies related to Contact. We all need to be creative and collaborative in our efforts to bring about a better world! Let me know if you have any comments or questions!
