Sharing best practice to apply for a Mega Grant

Community Community & Industry Discussion

Hey everyone,

We won a Mega Grant last year for our asset management and version control application Anchorpoint. During the application process, we had a hard time how to compose it right. That’s why I wanted to share our learnings and gut feelings what helped us to get the grant in an article. It also includes the video we submitted with the application.

We submitted in February 2021 and got the email from Epic in September 2021. At the time we submitted, our product was in alpha stage, but we kept improving it. It took us 2 weeks to make a good enough application, including the video. I hope this article will help everyone who still thinks of applying to the grant.

I just downloaded, and I agree this project was deserving of that Grant.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Mega Grant application. It’s helpful to see how a small team approached the video and the application itself, and the timeline you mentioned gives a realistic idea of what to expect. This will be useful for anyone thinking about applying.
