ScaleWell: Entrepreneurs providing startups with capital to reach milestones and gain traction
We are a group of entrepreneurs with ties to Chicago. We have various levels of experience but most of us have started at least one company with a scalable business model.
The responsibilities of a trustee are not trivial, but are flexible enough to fit in with your other responsibilities. Each trustee contributes $100 to the funding of each ScaleWell grant. Trustees are also mentors for the recipient and are asked to be available to discuss goals with the recipient, holding a meeting if necessary. The trustees jointly choose the recipient of each ScaleWell grant, participation in the application selection process is recommended but not required. The awarding of a ScaleWell grant will often happen at a community building event. Trustees are invited to these events and encouraged to attend.
Send us some links to your online identity and we will get in touch when the next grant is being organized.
