SUMMARY:TETRA Webinar: Funding your Open Source project
DESCRIPTION:When: 21 September 2021\nWhere: Online \nThis webinar is dedicated to the sustainability of open source projects. The webinar is divided into two parts – firstly we will discuss various nonprofit business models and secondly take a look at crowdfunding for open source projects. \n\nDr Melanie Rieback will give you insights on why it is important to look into various business models and engage users in order to develop a product that will be successful in the long run. Several nonprofit business models that allow the open source community to financially support themselves in an independent way will be discussed. The webinar will provide you some options outside of the venture capital track and inspiration to start thinking about sustainability for your open source project. \nCrowdfunding can be a reliable source not only for funding\, but also for testing the market demand for your product. In the second part of the webinar Andrew “bunnie” Huang will share his crowdfunding journey. He will talk about why he chose this funding option\, which platform he chose and how he executed the campaign. He will also share some key success factors that supported the funding journey on the crowdfunding platform. \nAs a result of this event\, you will be able to develop long-term funding strategies for your open source project. \nNo prior registration is needed.

SUMMARY:NGI @ MyData 2020
DESCRIPTION:FUNDING INNOVATION THROUGH THE NEXT GENERATION INTERNET (NGI) INITIATIVE\nSession Host & Presenter: David Seoane \nGoal: Present an overview of the available funding opportunities provided by the Next Generation Internet initiative through open calls. This initiative aim at funding the next Internet researchers and innovators to address technological opportunities around the following areas: privacy and trust\, search and discovery\, decentralised architectures\, blockchain\, Internet of Things\, social media\, interactive technologies\, as well as technologies supporting multilingualism and accessibility. \nDescription: The session will provide an overview of current and future open calls provided by the initiative\, that are managed through the cascade funding mechanism under the Horizon 2020 programme. This mechanism consists of an agile and simple process where the funding is distributed through ongoing NGI Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) that provide support to projects from outstanding academic researchers\, hi-tech startups and SMEs.\nFunding is allocated to projects using short research cycles targeting the most promising ideas. Each of the selected projects pursue their own objectives\, while the NGI RIAs provide the programme logic and vision\, technical support\, coaching and mentoring\, to ensure that projects contribute towards a significant advancement of research and innovation in the NGI initiative.\nThe focus is on advanced concepts and technologies that link to relevant use cases and that can have an impact on the market and society over all. Applications and services that innovate without a research component are not covered by this model.

SUMMARY:TETRA WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Where to get money – investors\, grants or crowdfunding?\nWhen you have a great idea\, funding is nearly always the sticking point. How can you raise money to get it started? If you have a tech-based idea\, you may have an easier time attracting attention from venture capitalists or angel investors\, but as more and more startups work that angle\, finding the right investor is harder than ever. So how could you get your idea off the ground?In our webinar\, we will talk about 3 different ways to fund your idea – be it attracting an angel investor\, crowdfunging or grants. \nFirst\, who exactly is an angel and where do they invest? When should your startup choose an investor? An experienced angel investor and a founder of a VC Fund\, Riivo Anton\, who has invested in many different early-stage companies will give you an introduction to angel investing and answer your most burning questions about this form of funding.Second\, if you have a groundbreaking idea and you’re ready to campaign for it\, crowdfunding is the way to go – a number of startups have found their first success thanks to platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo that helped them raise investments as well as visibility and reach. Alternative financing for businesses across Europe has increased considerably in recent years\, becoming an important source of finance\, but it can still be slightly confusing which one to choose and whether it s really for you. \nWe will introduce some tools available to help you navigate in this world. \nThird\, grants offer the opportunity for your organisation to bring in new funding that does not need to be paid back! It is important to remember\, however\, that grants are competitive. A lot of time and preparation are required to find grant opportunities\, plan a project\, and then develop a proposal. An expert in grants from Civitta will introduce various European grants available and answer all of your questions on how to get one. \nFor more info: https://business.ngi.eu/news-events/webinars/webinar-3-where-to-get-money-investors-grants-or-crowdfunding-/ \nRegistration at: https://meetinglab.zoho.eu/meeting/register?sessionId=1294616560 \nAgenda\nWelcome and introduction to TETRA project\nKirsten Virks\, TETRA Project Coordinator 5 mins \nWho are angel investors and where to find them?\nRiivo Anton\, United Angels VC 10 mins \nCrowdfunding and other alternative financing options.
