The Goal of this Document:
*To help you find money for prototypes or to start up a studio
*To keep you up to speed with different sources so you can inform your friends
*To start a dialogue about where you think early stage funding might be lacking
*Realistically, a lot of publishers are going to want to see a playable prototype before making a decision. Being able to bootstrap a prototype is a privilege not everyone has, so I wanted to put together this list.
