I think PlaceCal are a good candidate for this, and potentially so is Solidarity Tech <https://www.solidarity.tech/> who I'm speaking to later today. I'd argue Zetkin too, but I feel they've been quite conservative about how fast they want to roll out and not necessarily interested in mass usage — which is fine. I feel like Mapped is still in the 'seeking product-market fit' stage with a lot of fruitful avenues to explore, but not firm enough yet to approach this kind of fund.

Yeah I can do! This is my first week on my own after starting the year with 11 staff so just getting my ducks in a row. I wonder if a really solid pitch here would be to focus on our existing successful placecal networks but kinda do it 1,2,3: 1 - TransDim will have expanded to Manchester by then and thats the "proof" 2 - Tipping Point have done a really successful pilot in the NE but now need their own custom frontend 3 - 1 more site that's just starting needs some help doing Y and isnt quite there yet (norwich?) We could even do 1 and 2 only but i think itd make sense to it this way? Does that make sense? I am not sure when I'm gonna find the time to write the application tho. Can anyone find the questions without signing up? kim On Wed, 6 Nov 2024 at 18:00, Joe Irving &lt;joe(a)tippingpointuk.org&gt; wrote: -- Dr Kim Foale (they/she <https://name.pn/kim-foale>) *Working hours: Mon-Wed 10-5pm.* Geeks For Social Change <https://gfsc.studio/> - Support our mission of a fairer world using technology & join our email list <https://gfsc.studio/mailing-list> - Project: The Trans Dimension, a new space for trans community enabled by technology and collaboration. <https://gfsc.studio/2021/12/14/enter-trans-dimension.html> - Article: "Why is it so hard to do nice things, that make a difference, with other people?" <https://gfsc.studio/2022/06/30/why-is-it-so-hard-to-do-nice-things.html> If anything about this email is confusing or unclear please let me know.

Hey all, If we link it to Tipping Point we could total up our hours for anyone that might be up for committing to work on PlaceCal (e.g. Rakesh's organiser hours were necessary to be able to roll out the place cal in the north east)?
