Thanks for the props 100k. We noticed with Michael, the first recipient of a ScaleWell grant, that the community recognition allowed him to more efficiently collect feedback and support (his existing business seemed more "real").

So $1000 is not a lot, but in certain situations it is enough to propel an existing project toward revenue generation.

Cool. This is an experiment for us, but we are going to tie the winner(s) into our existing events like MinneBar and MinneDemo to increase their exposure.

And in fact, we're already getting some press about the event...it was written up next to the $130,000 Minnesota Cup in one of the business papers here.
