Hello solopreneurs, freelancers, the self-employed and gig workers! This resource page helps you easily navigate and apply for all your local financial aid options. There’s even a to-do list included to help prioritize next steps + immediate money saving tips!
We really hope you all find this webpage helpful!
We created this COVID-19 financial aid resource because as we learned more about the CARES bill and which resources were opening up to solopreneurs - for the first time ever in the US - it all just seemed so confusing.
We pulled this together with our team and a few freelancing volunteers (thank you!!) to clear up some confusion and provide next steps with searchable content.*
We’re hearing a lot of government and lending systems are still being updated to accommodate for funds disbursement, so we expect to keep updating this page with more and evolving info. Please feel free to share with freelancers you know or contact us with any edits and additions!
Thanks for hunting us @hvost :)
Congratulations @gilad_uziely and the team on the launch. I am not based in the US currently, but I can see a lot of benefits from the information given in this resource.
Q: Why did you create a super long one-page website?
Suggestions: Make the header menu so that the user can jump between the sections. Adding the unemployment data with the states to give high-level unemployment in the industry might be helpful.
Also found a bug: The Product hunt count widget is not showing the correct number of upvotes :)
@gilad_uziely@divjpatel Thanks for flagging that! Like your suggestion. We pulled together this resource super quickly and expect to continue updating it - so we'll likely include your suggestion for even better searchability and navigation. Keep any other suggestions coming! 🙏Hope you're healthy and well wherever you are!

Hi Divyansh, thanks for the feedback. We wanted to allow quick access to all the information, but also make it easy for users to see what is happenning in other states. We made the top navigation so users can easily scroll to what they want to see, and in the desktop version, we have an interactive map that sends you to your desired state. Thanks for letting us know about the bug, we're looking into it. Oren, Lance CTO
This page was so useful to helping me figure out what I could apply to and where. I was getting all sorts of different suggestions from my friends and my accountant!
