We will present our “pods” to government agencies, foundations, and corporate partners as we pursue funding to build a sustained, compensated coaching program. Our goal is to secure grants and sponsorships that allow us to pay expert coaches fairly for the hours they invest in mentoring the next generation of civic technology startups. By completing this application thoroughly you are positioning yourself as one of the first members of a professional coaching network that we intend to fund, grow, and compensate well into the future.
