#1 I can't say enough about the power of micro grants to improve the economy in an area. These 29 will probably result in twice that many businesses recovering, perhaps 500 people being hired, their families being supported. Other businesses will spring up to provide supplies, tax revenues will jump. The effect goes on and on.

There is tons of money available in the US for anybody who wants to start a small business and asks for it. Other than grants, you can also get low interest loans and low cost insurance. What you need is a business plan in hand, which is normally about five pages long.

Hint: Don't start a restaurant. They typically have a six month 50% failure rate.

Second Hint: If you put "robotics" in the title of your business, DARPA will be there in a heartbeat, with a suitcase full of money.
