I've always been passionate about startups and working with founders. Wanting to get involved but not having "Angel VC" type of money has been my issue lately, so, I decided to start The Shanti Fund.
I know $200 isn't much (to you and I). But it IS to some people. They may be down on their luck, or they may just live in a part of the world where $200 goes a long way.
I know some might criticize my efforts here, so I'm 100% open to feedback. Please tell mw how I can improve The Shanti Fund. Thanks.
I'll accept that it might be "dumb" to you, but it's definitely not a joke.
More than 1.3 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day. Sure most of them will not have computers/Internet access. But $200 USD could mean a lot to some poor community college kid in India, for example.
Or even a struggling, aspiring (or down on their luck) coder in America who doesn't have a cushy software gig.
Even more than the money, just having someone tell them that their idea isn't terrible will be a great help.
