Hey Bilal :) I just watched the Gumball Capital video you submitted, it's awesome! Who does your video editing? Do you know what program they use?

Hey! Congrats on the grant! What are your next steps now that you have the seed funding as well as PR all set up? I just took a look at your interests again. Another group you might want to join is human rights. Let me know if you run into any problems while on GenV.net! ^_^

hey - Gumball Capital is amazing, and I've always been fascinated by the idea of microfinance. Keep up the good work.

Hi Bilal!! Welcome to GenV.net!! :-) Gumball Capital sounds like a great way to alleviate global poverty. When was Gumball Capital formed and how many individuals in developing countries has it been able to help since then? Have you heard about the interest group YV Group - Poverty? You can join (click subscribe on the left) and share with the group members ideas you have for alleviating poverty. :-D

Anyway, so what kind of help are you looking for? If you're looking for seed funding to get your Gumball Challenge started, you've definitely come to the right place! Here is a link to resources that explain the YV process:
