If you haven't heard of ScaleWell yet, the first thing you need to know is we are giving grants of $1000 dollars to early stage companies.  This is a grant, and we are not taking equity in your company. We're based in Chicago, but participation is happening nationwide (and even internationally).

We recently ended our first applicant round and we are having a party to give away the first grant.  We want to see you there.  

Please register for the event at http://scalewell.eventbrite.com

We've had tons of support from trustees and applicants and we want to recognize both groups as well at the event.

Details:

To recognize the first group of ScaleWell applicants and trustees (there were 70 of you!) - we are organizing a gathering at OfficePort on FEBRUARY 10, 2009 at 7 PM. 

Stop by if you are interested in the following: 

1. Supporting people building scalable businesses

2. Learning more about how to participate in future ScaleWell grants

3. Meeting members of the Chicago startup community

4. A valid reason not on this list

Thanks and hope to see you there -

Sean, Ziad & Andy
