We encourage groups applying for funding to submit a one-minute video introducing themselves.

The video can be in any format. Just email it to private@posterous.com, and Posterous will reply with a url you can put in the application form.

In the video please introduce yourselves, explain what you're doing and why, and tell us anything else you want to about the founders or the project.

The video should contain nothing except the founders talking. No screenshots or postproduction wizardry please; we don't want this to turn into a video making contest. If you're going to spend time making something cool, put it into your demo/product.

We advise you not to read from a prepared script. Just talk spontaneously as you would to a friend. People reading prepared scripts seem dumb. Unless you're a good enough actor to fake spontaneity, you lose more in the stilted delivery than you gain from a more polished message.

Example: Directed Edge's successful application video
