In my recent blog post , I talked about market research and user feedback. For me, this feedback was crucial in securing funding – most notably, for a grant for research and development (R&D), which I then won in mid-December 2016.

You have to bear in mind, this approach is not a “free lunch”; applications take time and effort, and you will go through a couple of rounds of revisions.
