Startup funding resources

Post #1 - August 22nd, 2011, 7:19 pmHi, I'm looking for suggestions for funding resources--grants, contests, etc. I can apply for--for a start-up restaurant with a "giveback" component (a portion of our profits will go toward a designated cause abroad). We're starting small now, hosting in-home dinners and catering, but as we grow, would like to become a brick-and-mortar business. Thanks for your help!

Post #2 - August 22nd, 2011, 8:10 pmThe key is to do something that violates health department regs but uses local produce in an "artisan" way. Then you get shut down, call Monica Eng, and start a "kickstarter" website for empathetic foodie activists....defended from strong temptations to social ambition by a still stronger taste for tripe and onions."

Please Help Support my Food Truck Project

Kickstarter.com (also mentioned in Jefe's thread) has helped some folks get their projects off the ground.
Hope that helps,

Post #4 - August 23rd, 2011, 7:57 amI believe kickstarter is for one off projects, not brick and mortar restaurants or stores. @ least that's what I felt when I looked into it for something I was thinking of doing. A store didn't meet their usage guidelines."In pursuit of joys untasted"
