In the short/medium term would some form of relationship with @OpenSats be beneficial? OpenSats could recommend #grantless to all applications they were unable to fund. They could even act as an Arbiter for selected projects they are unable to fund, but still wish to succeed. If @OpenSats are truly interested in the Nostr ecosystem and growth this would seem like a no brainer, so long as your processes are clear and robust. (Also probably a good idea to clarify some of the questions asked in the comments before making any approach.)
