DreamIt Offers Pre-Seed Funding
February 29th, 2008 (8:00am) Mike Gunderloy 1 Comment
Got a great idea for something you and your team could build in 3 months? Willing to spend those three months living in Philadelphia from mid-May through August this year? Then you might want to head over to DreamIt Ventures and put in an application for one of their twelve pre-seed “Dollarships.” They’re looking for young hacker types with a great idea who can use business support - they’ll provide legal and business mentoring, help you find space, and help you put together your pitch for further funding at a Funding Day in August.
Of course, there’s no free lunch: they want a passive equity stake in your budding company if you sign on. And if you’re really successful, the $10-30,000 they’re putting into the pot to get that will be a mighty good investment. But if you’re struggling to jump start an idea, this may be the help you need.

I NEED STARTUP SEED.
I want to put a program together that will teacher the value of a woman and reach out to the community with community events and support those young parents as well as try to change this generation in this city so that hopefully we can shape a better next generation. We are a Non- profit Organization, because I believe that this mission is very important and I want our activities to be open to everyone free of charge. West Virginia is the second poorest state in the USA.
