3 things to cover with my review.
1. I was super skeptical at first because of the "pay for funding" idea.
2. I didn't think I would get funded
3. I thought, why would anyone want to help me. Like who am I that you want to help
Now, this may be typical, I don't know, but I didn't understand it at first.
Sooner after registration I realized they provide a lot of guidance and a lot of self realization when the business plan is in the works. This really opened my eyes and really forced me to change my idea to prepare me for the real world.
My expert asked hard questions. I was frustrated at first but realized it's for the better to get it out in the open.
After my plan was done, they took lead and showed me what I can apply for. I didn't want to borrow money as I didn't want to get a loan, so the funding team (Ray), did a search for me and found me 3 grants.
I applied to them with their help. Took about a hour and half start to finish. More do due to me being a perfections.
After submission of the application they continued to work with me, trying to helo me understand the business in more avenues, but in the meantime, (7 days itself funding applications) I got a call confirming a few detailed, being awarded with $36k in grant award.
So. It all quickly changed from the start and my review is dedicated to Ray and the team for help and patience.
