Following up
Would you be interested in hearing more about potential follow-up funding?
Yes! Our Seed Fund had interesting findings worth following up on.
The results did not get us what we hoped.
While the Seed Fund gave us interesting results, they are pretty conclusive and there's not much to follow-up on in this instance.

If follow-up funding became available in the future to further explore findings first uncovered by a Seed Fund, please briefly explain why you believe your project should be considered.
