Support is almost always technical in nature.
The exact amount varies from proposal to proposal, depending on what resources the applicant already possesses. At the very least, we will provide a domain, a high-speed connection, web hosting, consulting, customer and technical support, advertising, and implementation of the site. The applicant is still expected to be the principal force in making the site a success, but the tedious ground work at least is all taken care of. While we do not hand out cold, hard cash, SIVI's support comes in the form of technical and manual resources otherwise out of reach of the applicant. SIVI helps build a web presence, user base, business model and other such things that are essential prior to seeking traditional Venture Capital.
