It was fantastic! It let me buy some computing resources which I wouldn't have had access to. And, more than that, it was tangible proof that other people liked my idea - which is emotionally satisfying.
There was no complex application process and no auditing. That certainly opened it up to me as I hate filling in forms.
I hope one day I'm in a position to help others in a similar way.
