Cool. This is timely for me. I launched https://nanagram.co about 8 months ago. We help people send printed photos in the mail to their grandparents with a text message. I've been bootstrapping it with contract work in parallel but I'd like to focus on it full-time. Customers seem to truly love it and it's the happiest thing I've ever created. I'm thinking about putting together a family and friends round to focus full-time through the fall. Funding aside, I know I need some mentorship.

Is the $10k funding awarded at the end of the cycle?

For the record, I'm one of your users, and I absolutely love nanagram.

Heck yes! This makes my day. I am printing this comment out and putting it on my fridge for my wife to see when she gets home. :)

Cool service! I could see myself using this to have hard-copy pictures conveniently mailed to myself. There's nothing like having physical copies you can touch.

Thank you. That's been one of the surprising moments of the project. While debugging the captions feature I started sending a set of the photos to myself every month. Now my fridge is covered with fresh photos of people I love, like it's 1995. Way better than pixels.

This looks really cool btw, my gf and I will very likely become users!

I think it says that the $10k will be awarded to 100 companies that complete the course so I assume at the end

Thanks so much. I'm having a blast. Feel free to email (alex@nanagram.co) or text/call with any questions (617-356-7849).

Correct, will be awarded after course is completed.

Cool service I don't understand why you need a funding round though! It's already well made and importantly well presented and apparently well marketed. It may be a good income generator while you work in parallel.

Clever, sending a link to my GF right now. I wish you shipped to more countries.

Awesome, glad to hear it. We've had lots of interest internationally and released in Canada most recently. Australia, the UK, and Germany are likely next. Where are you hoping to ship to? You can subscribe to be notified when we release in your country at: https://nanagram.co/international
