Is there a way we can apply? I am building https://atomictessellator.com, and since I am 100% technical I am not sure about commercialising or open sourcing it, I definitly would like to open source some of the components (e.g. turnkey dockerized scientific computing environments, the molecular force viewer, and also open up a hub for the environments and models) - when I was in Stanford meeting with some comp chemists a few months ago they got very excited for this.

I negotiated with my day job to work 2AM to 10AM so that I can work on this passion project in the afternoons, some grant funding would really help me focus on this more. There's quite a bit of interesting stuff not on the website in catalyst discovery and molecular dynamics. Contact me if you'd like to chat / demo.

In my ideal world I would work on this full time and totally open source it.

feel free to DM on twitter or linkedin. In a nutshell, if you want to pursue a company now in or in the near future, we would likely need to consider you through our normal investing process for equity funding. If you are considering just working on it OSS, we would encourage taking first steps in that direct, and testing community-project fit validation before quite going full or near-full time!
