The EAIF did make a grant for $73k—but it was to a project that Nonlinear was incubating (not to Nonlinear themselves) - I’ll update the website to reflect this. Looking at the email thread for this grant now we actually made the grant out to a separate company (the new hiring agency) so the money never went through nonlinear and required (at com health’s advice) that they set up an incubation contract to formalise the roles, responsibilities and decision making between the founders and Nonlinear.
I’ll let the com health team speak for themselves, but I think given the information that we had the grant was reasonable and looking back I am happy with the advice com health gave us.

Thanks for clarifying that Caleb, that does seem substantially less problematic than granting to Nonlinear themselves.
