On Deck - Builders Merge Grant

Merge Grant is a micro-grant initiative designed to give ambitious builders resources as they pursue compelling projects. It is run by Merge Club members—called Mergers—who review applications, conduct interviews, and make grant decisions.

They take no equity, ownership, or future right to invest. You get perks and an invite to join the Merge Club. The awesome people at On Deck back the Merge Grant initiative.
