Bubble

... 🤔

Man I'll never understand where all these hundreds of millions go 😅 I can't see how any project of this scope would require such a huge investment, even with marketing. Investments this large are quite rare in the EU, for better or worse, of course. But happy for them, though! I've seen Bubble used in quite a few places, and lots of people praising it as well 👏

I had made plans for spending up to $20 Million, you get there faster than you want. I can extrapolate to a $100 Million, especially if you don't have revenue, but I never actually created a plan for that. And the $20M was actually in the EU 😄

Wow. @Denny Vrandečić was that wikidata / wikifunctions related ;)?

No, Wikidata was much cheaper (~2M), Wikifunctions was also cheaper than that. 20M was the upper limit on the specific form of EU research projects in FP6 or FP7 I used to be applying to.

Unfortunate then that grants like Horizon (FP successor) wouldnt cover wikifunctions. NLNet might be relevant though, but only for small amounts afaik. Can you share what projects the 20M applications were for?

Oh, I don't remember them all. I think the biggest one we got accepted was ACTIVE.

This is a great. I met the bubbles back in 2013/2014 when we had a startup building something similar (NudgePad). We ended up taking an acquihire offer and gave up on that market, but it's very cool to see they ended up pulling if off. 7 years of hard work to Series A, gulp!
