Seed funding/initial investment is what I mean by spark.

There are ideas that don’t need too much of funding, but most require the cash to scale their startup.

Here are the results of my search for my venture. Maybe these links/contacts might help you someday when you want to bootstrap an idea.

SeedFunding and Mentoring Companies

The companies below will fund you upto $15000 in return for 2-8% stake in your company. They will provide you with resources, mentors and also setup a platform to pitch-in more investors and VCs to get more funding.

Applications for these programs are currently being accepted. That the applications for LaunchBoxDigital will be accepted until March 14th. Last date for applications for YCombinator is April 2nd and for TechStars its March 31st. And please do note that every program has only specific number of spots. Total spots are around 30. So play safe and apply for all the three.

This post is an unusual one since my posts are often long, but just thought I should keep it to the point.
