@bondijois Thanks so much for the great feedback. It really means alot to us. We've awarded 9 projects already and can't wait to award more.
@paul_tyk , hello. This is totally an ad, but so what? Getting exposure about the company without proceeds from X going to Y typical stuff, rather targeting future customers is a very smart move. Well done.
@paul_tyk @rick_segal1 Hi, Thanks so much. This is just a genuine desire for us to do good and support other side projects out there. We're not looking for clicks or a certain number of applications. We're just looking to support and help out.
For anyone interested in getting help on their projects. Applying is super simple. All you need to do is submit a short form on our Side Project Fund page: https://tyk.io/fund/ telling us why you need our help.
I hope this doesn't come across as an ad but we started originally as a side project too. So this side project funding came off the back of this as a way to help other side projects out there.
Getting started is tough. Not just with funding to get started but finding support, time allowance and advice. So we wanted to create some support out there helping people at the starting point.
It's a genuine desire to do good and make a positive impact. We've been doing this for 1 year and have seen so many cool ideas and can't wait to see more.
