[Fiware-acceleration-help] FIWARE and SOUL-FI questions

Hello,

I have few questions to ask, please help.

1. I have a team of people for Startup but they won't apply officially
because they are not sure will we get funds or not, and in that time they
might get some other job.
So basically question is can I apply alone and if we get funds then I apply
them to the project?

2. Do we need to open SME company or wait funds first? if we need to open
company is any type of company ok?

3. I don't see information where it says rules for spending money that we
get. Question is can we spend the money for salaries? or money-funds must
be spent for something else?

4. About the SOUL-FI, information is no that fully clear so I have to ask.
On your website everywhere it says you don't take % of the startup, but
nowhere it says which is critical info that we have to fund 25% of the
given funds - which I just saw in the "01. Fact Sheet Round A and Round
B.pdf".

Startups are usually startups if you understand :-) therefore in Round B
how do we get 25% or €18,750 euro out of €75k budget. For startups is
difficult to get those funds. And how is that different from any other EU
grants? There are EU ICT grants with ratio 85:15 which is better than this.

At first FIWARE looked as great opportunity, but when I read everything now
it doesn't look that way :-)


5. Also if we get funds from Round A, then we should apply with same
project to Round B, is that correct? because Round A is applying the
project for designing the concept and creating a business plan.


Thank you,
Marijan Supec
