- supernova87a 6y agoI also like reading stories such as "what are the first things you should do when you win the lottery" when I'm feeling bored. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the_happiest_5word_sentence_you_could_hear/chb38xf/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the...
- kasperni 6y agoThat was an unexpected good read.
- SQueeeeeL 6y agoFor anyone interested, this isn't a loan, it's just a grant aggregation site. Honestly crazy bizarre marketing in the title "Fund a startup without giving up equity", like do people not know what grants are...? Based on the weird marketing and pushing me to make an account, I imagine they will try to "pivot" this to being some form of bland generic social network in the next few months
