Key Take-Aways

Be bold but realistic: Avalanche wants to hear moonshot pitches, but they need to be grounded in reality with clear execution plans.

Build before you apply: Don't wait for a grant to start building. Having a prototype or proof of concept significantly strengthens your application.

Connect with the community: Engage with the Avalanche ecosystem before, during, and after your application process.

Focus on ecosystem impact: Clearly articulate how your project contributes to Avalanche's growth and addresses specific ecosystem needs.

Prepare for partnerships: The foundation can connect you with other projects, validators, and institutional partners - be ready to collaborate.
