So far, we’ve gotten a lot of
“No.”

We’ve gotten told No by:• Verizon Foundation (but please come back next year)• The Case Foundation (but please come back next year)• The Knight Foundation• Ycombinator• California Endowment• Bank of America

We’ve learned from the No.• People care about methodology or product, probably not
both.• We can do Generators in a more strategic fashion,
aligning ourselves with organizations who can introduce us to new funders.
• Generators aren’t necessarily fundable by themselves, but they are an efficient way of us getting smart, getting to know a lot of people and getting introductions.
• We need to develop more relationships with people who are closely connected to funding.
• We need to better match the opportunity to who we are (as Caravan Studios and as TechSoup Global).
