Hi everyone,

Sorry for posting something off-topic here, but I thought that this is interesting for people being able to code iOS apps and who did some awesome projects last term: If you need some initial funding to kick off your app idea as a startup or bring it to the next level, there is an great resource at UChicago - Uncommon Ventures is a student-run venture capital group created by the Career Advancement office whose goal is to provide seed capital to entrepreneurs affiliated with the University of Chicago. Uncommon Ventures typically invests $1,000 to $5,000 in promising startups started by University of Chicago students at any level. Uncommon Ventures is not actively seeking profits, it exists simply as a way to foster entrepreneurial spirit and to support the ideas that students have. You can find more info on our website at http://www.uncommon.vc.

Please fill out the following form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RXo6C9-Z2z4gb37i9nbXHutFBIsrjNhzaak1MVCEe6Y/viewform) if you would like to pitch your startup and send us your resume at uncommonventure@lists.uchicago.edu. Also, please send me an email at meierm@uchicago.edu, briefly indicating your interest in applying for this. Let me know, if you've got any questions! And feel free to share this with other people who might be interested!
