UPDATE: Initial reports were generally positive Monday afternoon after the SBA finally began taking applications for desperately needed Shuttered Venue Operating Grants (SVOG) after multiple false starts.
@HYPEBOT will be live-tweeting reports from users applying for their share of $16.3 billion in funding allocated by the US Congress four months ago.
A little over two weeks ago, the SBA SVOG portal crashed on opening day before taking a single application.
UPDATE
Hypebot received messages from several dozen venues and agents Monday afternoon who had completed the SVOG application process within 2 hours or less of the portal opening. While some found the questions unclear, few reported technical glitches.
