Ask HN: How to raise money for a Covid 19 WhatsApp Chatbot?
I'm currently trying to build a Whatsapp based chatbot to provide food and basic necessities to the people under quarantine in Kerala, India.
Most people in Kerala who owns a smartphone has access to Whatsapp so a bot to provide authentic news, and to request food and ambulace would be of paramount importance.
Raising money from the government for a bot is really hard, so is there any way to raise the necessary funds for this project ?
All ideas, links to grants are all welcome.

I think their goal is (eventually) profitable startups and what you describe would likely need a business model. With so many app/web developers trying to help on local and global level you effectively compete with volunteers (people working for free).
