[Hidden-tech] Funding creative projects

[Jessica Gifford]

Hi All,
Thanks for your feedback on the contest I posted. I don't mean to
undervalue anyone's work, and apologize for that. I'm working to get a
start-up off the ground, so finding funding for the many needs of a new
business is a challenge. Tess, I appreciate your post about crowdfunding
and other creative options to bring projects into the world.
Best,
Jessica
