My Interview on MSC Grant

Who should apply for a grant? MEL: People with vision, passion & commitment to take their technology related idea from the drawing board to a successful reality- no matter what it takes. (And I would add, some business sense will be a pre-requisite) JEN: Anyone with an innovative idea, then figure out a way to make it work and grow in the real world scenario. Innovative means new and you have to find a niche where your business can serve. Niche doesn’t have to be small, it can be a market where there are needs but not yet served. You don’t have to be a tech super genius (as we are both not) and you don’t even have to be a super businessman (you don’t need this grant if you are). However, you need to have a good balance of tech and business senses. JEN: On a personal level, passion (about your idea) and perseverance (to see it from idea to execution) are very important. If you think I just decribed you, go for it! Even if you don’t think your idea is that great, go for it anyway! Never hurts to try.
