Re:AngelList Braces for Rainy Days as Startup Seed Funding Falls on Thursday September 15, 2016 @08:54PM (#12511170)
You're not entitled to seed funding. However the government does offer SBIR grants of ~225k, from all branches of the government, DOJ, NIH, NSF etc. Odds of getting the grant range from 1/5 to 1/12 depending on the year. With solicitations twice a year.

Ask HN: Should I migrate my MongoDB to a more reliable DB before launch?

I have a few months before I launch an app I've been working on for the past year. I started with mongo because in the beginning I did not plan to have that much sensitive data and it was ~80% read. Now that I've come close to my MVP I've included data that needs to be more secure and stable. The majority of my backend is a basic CRUD architecture with heavy reads so migration shouldn't take me...
