💸 Cobudget Round
Our latest cobudget round is a wrap. We have now completed a leftover process, which resulted in redistributing the unspent funds to fully fund additional 5 buckets, and reach a minimal threshold for a 6th one. The next months will be full of action as the bucket holders bring their funded ideas into life.
You can learn more about our collaborative funding process in our handbook and check cobudget - the software powering our collaborative funding rounds.
🔥 Enspiral Europe Gathering
In a few weeks Enspiral Europe will come together for another gathering. This time we’re prototyping a new event to add onto the retreat - a collaboration week focused on supporting each other in our work.
