Potenue Strategy for April 16

Skip’s 24-Hour Alert: If you want that $10K from Skip, you have less than 36 hours. Their portal is simple—don’t overthink it, just hit submit before tomorrow night.
The Global Play: If you aren’t based in the U.S., focus your energy on the O’Shaughnessy Fellowship ($100K). It is one of the most prestigious global, equity-free programs available today.
The “Video” Preparation: For the Famous Amos grant, the June 1st deadline seems far away, but a winning pitch takes planning. Start your script this weekend; good lighting is more important than expensive editing.
