In proposal 709, our planned timeline is 4 months. However, the realization of the proposal may take 6 months. The 2-month operating costs we use are the proceeds from the sale, which include (rent, salaries for 2 teams other than myself, collaboration with other brands). Therefore, we can survive 2 months longer than the timeline in the proposal.
In this 896 proposal, the cost is 54% lower than in the 709 proposal. This is because in this proposal, we aim to achieve sustainability, production, team building, marketing, and collaboration that we will strive to maintain for at least the next 6 months. We do not require a large initial investment because the Nounscraft tuktuk already exists.
The scope of this proposal is also broader, targeting not only children but also university students. Consequently, the budget for activation activities is significantly larger.
For this reason, we have detailed the budget we will use to ensure Nounscraft's sustainability over the next year.
> prefer more shoestring budget and these costs seem inflated, would consider closer to 10% of this funding request in order to achieve a smaller list of focused tasks e.g.;
>
> "We created a DIY kit with a piggy bank, brushes, a palette, and stickers, which sold out all 250 units, attracted ongoing orders, and successfully spread to the Nouns community in Indonesia."
>
> If this sold out / got orders then it feels like there is a sustainable business model here to explore vs asking for $17k grant. Have you made more? Did you follow up on the orders? This is the same text from the proposal 2+ months ago - your production cost is $2.50 per unit so why not get those made and start making money if they are selling out, you can even sell pre-orders or ask Nouns for a smaller grant to get the inventory.

> This is just one example of an idea, I like the piggybank painting etc - we have funded Deguma who I believe has achieved self-sustainability with the programs he runs at the dragon booth, so it is definitely possible.
