Yes I do, but it depends on many factors, like understanding the actual needs of your business, and the objectives which could be one of many, and for that, you will probably have to consult a specialist team involved in delivering the goods.troys wrote:Does anyone here have any experiences applying for grants and/or venture capital and/or loans from SPRING? I am putting together an application and would appreciate if someone can share some experiences, if not on the public board then by pm.
unfortunately all grant procedures are of a bureaucratic nature and take the time it takes, though for venture capital, I would consult someone, who knows how to submit the application at spring office, they will help you out, with all your queriestroys wrote:Hi ksl,
I am from Australia but I am PR, so I am more looking at venture capital + loan for my startup business which is a web based one, which judging by the SPRING website seems to be very generous.
However, I want to know about people's real life experience in getting the money from them.
I am especially worried about opportunity cost(i.e. wasting lots of time meeting with bureaucrats, approval taking months etc...). Also things that you learn from experience like what sort of things do they like, what sort of things do they dislike? etc....

Don't be afraid to approach Spring, the consultants will give you all the advice you need, just approach the reception and they will put you in contact with a consultant to answer all your questions.jcaosdon wrote:hi guys, i am new here, and i need some information on spring's funding too!
i am a youth (just got out of JC) so i qualify for the YES fund, but can i apply for the SEEDS too? and also it would be good if you guys can advise me on what i would expect the process to be like - who i'd talk to, who i'd have to convince, etc.
and ksl: can i get some advice for starting up my company?? maybe we can talk through email? cause i can't pm yet
thanks and cheers!
