Which EU grant did you receive? Ie. from which fund?
replyedit: nm, rtfm, it was on the landing page: Horizon Europe programme
Answered to a sibling comment. NLnet and HORIZON.
replyNLnet is just amazing and can keep you going if you are a student or have some extra sources of income
HORIZON is a huge grant but fairly hard to obtain. Generally related to reasearch grants in academia
Congrats! But what is a spreadsheet "engine" as opposed to a spreadsheet program?
replyInteresting, how was the EU funding process?
replyFirst we got a grant from the NLnet[1], which I highly recommend as a first step of any project. Single best thing I could have done. That wasn't enough money for me to quit my job. Also I didn't have any _evidence_ that IronCalc was a good idea or that there was a market for it. Then evidence started pouring and I kept working. I started talking to different folks, lots of people many of those were contacts through the NLnet. Then the folks from NextGraph[2] approached us and asked, "Hey do you want to be part of this consortium [3]?". Eventually we got a HORIZON grant after a lot of sweat and paperwork, but NextGraph took the brunt of it.
replyAs you see there is a huge component of sheer luck
