Hey PH... We are launching this because we think that a lot of makers are building cool products because they enjoy it - not because they want to raise a bunch of venture capital. For people making products on the side, a small amount of cash is awesome. On the other hand, a lot of people with Silicon Valley aspirations don't have the resources or network to get there very easily. A small amount of money can be life-changing. I hope in some way this simple program will inspire makers everywhere - regardless of background, connections, or resources. šŸ™ Thanks for checking it out!!
I think this is a really great initiative šŸ™Œ Are you investing your own money into this?
Maker
thank you!! yes, for the most part.
Maker
I've also been talking to some companies about other non-cash things we can add to this to make it better. Hope that can come in the next week or two!
Maker
great idea, thank you. might be able to do something like that...would definitely be a cool option!
It's a great idea šŸ’„, already submitted my product (Pair & Compare) there.
Maker
awesome!
Maker
curious if you would be interested in bigger cash grants or additional free resources as time goes on?
Yes I'm interested šŸš€
This is really cool. As a maker who likes to create things more for fun than profit this is just awesome!
Maker
thanks for saying that...means a lot! I think it will be useful and fun!!

yes that sounds wonderful.. also like you said not just cash but free resources esp like aws credits would be super useful for most makers!
Awesome idea! Quick side note: can you pleeeease increase the line-height? Rules section is physically painful to read
Maker
thank you
Maker
okay, sorry about that. Just looked and it is pretty bad. will fix.
Just submitted our product idea: Bonnum Wallet, a crypto walled designed for financial inclusion. If we win the prize, we are going to donate 100% of it as Aid for poor families in Venezuela. And we will post a link to the seedproof site in our site.
Maker
awesome! thanks for sharing this!!!
Hi. Please, when will the result of this week be announced? If we win we will be able to double the number of families aided in Venezuela.
Maker
results are announced Monday one week after the week you post. But until then, you can view your ranking here (you have to login to see your ranking):
Maker
please email me if you have any questions about ranking or results!
really cool idea overall, but also really feel like you guys need to hire a designer/UX person to help out with the site. also, as far as long-term plans go, I was curious on how y'all plan to keep this program going? Is that mostly reliant on partner contributions?
Maker
thanks for the feedback. we'll work on the design!
Maker
hope to keep it going indefinitely. somewhat depends on contributions but also on how well everyone likes it. The goal is to add more tools and resources to go along with the cash.
Awesome idea! This will be a big motivation for makers who like to make things for fun like me.
Maker
thanks for the kind words! I hope so!! more to come...
Maker

Yeah, why not! If that cash can help me develop my creation more then yes, I'm interested.
