After some unsuccessful applications, I will apply again. We created an AWS for publishers or, in other words, Publishing as a Service.<p>After working for some time in the industry we notice some niche or local news publications are formed by a really small team but they require almost the same software and operations that a traditional publication needs. Thus we buillt a publishing service that takes advantage of scale.<p>We have a landing page setup at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mutinit.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mutinit.com</a>

I thought about applying with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.esoterica.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.esoterica.io</a>, a word game that people really seem to enjoy (It&#x27;s a toy! People love it! It could be a platform for knowledge games! Diffuse mental time!)<p>But I&#x27;m not sure that ingesting the VC business model is ultimately a healthy thing. (Nor do I have extra time... alas)

I&#x27;ve thought about it for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keygen.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keygen.sh</a> a lot this year, though I doubt my numbers are &quot;there&quot; yet to be considered--but either way, I think I&#x27;m going to push that decision back another year. I&#x27;ve found larger B2B sales tough, but I&#x27;ve been slowly improving that so I figured I&#x27;ll stick to bootstrapping for now.

We applied last year but were rejected and got no feedback.<p>Hopefully we have a stronger statement and mission plan for this batch. We try to provide the most efficient paths for learning any topic. Be it React.js, Go, History or Math. The project is also fully open source which I presume is the reason we failed the batch as monetising Open Source projects is quite hard.

Today we&#x27;re known for this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doarama.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doarama.com</a> - 3d maps for sports, if you know any paragliders, ask them about Doarama. We&#x27;re like the strava of paragliders, and we&#x27;re seeing lots of other uses as well.

I&#x27;ve considered applying with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dndemail.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dndemail.com</a> - do not disturb for your inbox. I have developing traction and a growing user base.
