I had a great meeting with the ever inspirational Dubber today about our share to create proposal. What was great about the meeting was not only that we know have a beautifully expressed elevator pitch, and a better way of approaching the project, but also that Dubber advised that our project was much more like a £100, 000 project than a £10, 000, advising that seed fund should be  initially applied, with the development fund as part of the 2nd phase.

I have a huge amount of respect for Dubber, and find our meetings to move things forward in the way that you need them to, which in contrast to a few meetings that have happened over the last couple of months, is actually a pretty rare thing. Maybe i’m buzzing from the meeting, but after working for so long on this idea that we all believe in so much, and to know have the team in place to make it into a reality, to have a meeting like that was just what we needed.

There’s actually two more meetings that need to happen before we can move it forward into the 4ip realms, as we have a new member on board, which is exciting, but also frustrating in a way, as i anticipate that this has the potential to slow things down, just at the point of things happening. Building a team in this situation though requires everyone being up to speed and having their input at the base core planning stage, (as the roles are so integral and different for each person) so in the long term i think its going to be time well spen.

Sincerely hope to be reporting back on this project (with something less mysterious!) over the next few months, as i’ve just heard from our designer that the final designs are almost complete!
