Greetings! I am writing to give you an update on Swayam. The news from our end is that after running into legal issues and time commitment pressures, two of the founders (myself and Thomas Seyller) have decided to bow out, while the other two founders (Ashni Mohnot and Deepti Chatti) will continue the legal research on future income contracts where we left off, as a new team. They will also go by another name (to be decided) instead of Swayam.
Ashni and Deepti would love to continue the relationship with all the amazing people who have encouraged us and helped us in so many ways. Please feel free to connect with them (ashni.mohnot@gmail.com or deepti.chatti@gmail.com) if you are interested in their work.
On a personal note, I want to thank you for taking the time and trusting us this far. The legal issues notwithstanding, the US is more in need than ever before of a viable educational finance organization.
We have just found funding for our first student. We are now looking for funds for the second student from India who has just been admitted to the Electrical Engineering department at Stanford. He won't be able to make it without this help - if you'd like to be a part of Swayam's beginning and help a student get an education, please drop a note to pilot@swayam.org.
We are currently one of three finalists (out of 1100 entries) in the RGK Center for Social Innovation (UT Austin) and are presenting in the final round on May 2nd. As Somik mentions above, we are also one of five finalists (out of 92 entries) in the Stanford BASES Social E Challenge.
We just made it to the final round of BASES. Trying hard to raise some money to fund students coming in to Stanford this Fall. If you're an investor and looking to get involved, contact us asap.
