It's a slow process that takes a lot of effort and diplomacy, but don't give up on it.

Just a quick question that's more specific to your situation. There have even been threads talking about how quickly 1678 has risen to the level of the best teams in the world. You mention that you've gotten more and better space the past few years. So have you found it's been easier to ask for donations and/or build space since you've become more well known and more successful as a team? Or has the increased space and machinery helped you become more successful as a team? Or are these two happenings not directly related, and it was some other factor of your team organization that caused you to get better work spaces and more competitive success as a team?
Sorry if this is a bit of a chicken and the egg question; I'm really just wondering if your competitive success has made it easier to fund raise.
