We sat down with Hadi Eldebek, founder and CEO of Grantpa, a website that connects artists, dancers, musicians, and other creatives with grant money worldwide. A musician himself, Hadi wondered how many people apply for grants versus how many receive them, and, after canvasing among his friends and relatives, he learned that the majority did not even bother to apply because of the time investment and intimidation factor of submitting an application.

In this episode, Hadi discusses how Grantpa works for grant-seekers to make the application process as simple and time-saving as possible, what it’s like being a TED resident, and why the idea that “artists must be poor” is an expectation he is working towards breaking.
