Example answer
We would like to fund two places for open-source infrastructure founders who could not otherwise attend. One of our partners could run a 45-minute architecture clinic during the week, but we do not need branding or automatic access to every founder. If the sponsored founders opt in, we would value a follow-up conversation after the program. We would start with one cohort and decide together whether it was genuinely useful before discussing anything ongoing.
