Grants and startups

Grant writing is not a solo sport you need partners. With blogging the goal is to create a community while with grant writing you establish a community. Because there are rigid guidelines everything thing cannot be as organic in nature with energy and synergy. There must be deadlines and budgets that take priority.What I am trying to figure out is where startups fit in this updated order of things. We think of startups for the most part springing from silicon valley. With seed money and angel investors gifting small companies with big ideas truck loads of cash for development. Then those companies swallow other companies they believe will be beneficial to their cause and so on and so forth. This leads me to another goal I would like to accomplish before the end of the year that of a grant peer reviewer. So hopefully another milestone I can update you with!
