I used to think ambition had to feel intense all the time.
Like if I wasn’t overwhelmed, I wasn’t doing enough.
Now I’m a lot more focused on building in a way that actually feels sustainable.
You can want big things and still move through your life in a way that feels calm 🤍
April isn’t over yet, and neither are your funding opportunities.
💰 Here are 4 more grants and opportunities open for founders, with deadlines coming up soon.
