I love the prototype fund! They spawn some crazy interesting and cool projects like Chatmosphere (https://prototypefund.de/project/chatmosphere/).

However it seems like many of the projects funded are stuck in the dilemma that either they get a new grant from somewhere or they stagnate/die. There seems to be a lack of sustainable development and a community, which I find sad. A lot of these projects are super cool, but not very well known or widely used.

Perhaps that's the goal. It is a "prototype" fund, after all.
