Purpose
Protostars is a micro-grant program for young people with passion projects. We give young people under 25 from AU/NZ, $1000 to work on their passion projects!
Overview
When you receive a grant, you will join a cohort of like-minded creators for 8 weeks as you work together to launch and build your passion projects. Each week we catch up, learn from each other or special guests, build in public, and host virtual (or IRL) coworking sessions. You'll also be invited to an IRL dinner during the cohort. At the end of the program, Blackbird Foundation will host a showcase to celebrate your progress.
Once the program is over, you'll join the wider Protostars community. As a member, you'll get exclusive access to funding, networking and social events and opportunities.
Limitations
- You must be aged 18-25
- You must be based in Australia or New Zealand and have an AU/NZ bank account
- You must be working on a passion project
