Reblog from my blog.
After talking to people from the industry and attending conferences and listening to inspiring talks, I sort of want to continue pursuing my pet projects but I also need to feed myself.
Anyway long story short, I want to give myself a few months to try to see if I can either secure funding or find some creative ways of feeding myself, hence, I have started this list.
This is a work-in-progress list, so if you have any to add or remove, corrections, questions or suggestions, please contact me here or via social media (@purplelilgirl).
For each of the programs, I will try to answer the following questions:

How much equity is taken (if applicable)?
How long is the program (if applicable)?
Where is it based (if applicable)?
How much does it cost (if applicable)?
