This is the last day to apply to Lightspeed Grants [LW · GW]! 

It's also the last office hours during which you can co-work with others on your application and ask me and Sydney questions about the process. 

Is the application really only 2 hours though?

Often, applicants get nervous about grant applications and spend a lot more time than they need to on them, or get overwhelmed and procrastinate on applying.

We really just want you to spell out some basic information about your project in a plain way and think this is doable in the 1-2 hour timeframe.

If you're worried about overthinking things, we'll have application co-working sessions and office hours every Thursday of June (edit: and July 6th) between noon and 2PM PT. If you think you might procrastinate on the application or get stuck in the weeds and spend a ton of unnecessary time on it, you can join one and fill out the application on the call, plus ask questions. Add the co-working to your calendar here, or join the Google meet directly at that time here!

What response time should I expect if it's something like "I need $10,000 to upskill on technical alignment"?

If you choose the "I need a response within 14 days" option, 14 days. Otherwise around beginning of August.
