<h2>How do I apply for the waitlist?</h2>

<p>
To apply for the waitlist, tell us a little bit about yourself via <strong><a href="https://tiny-factories.typeform.com/to/hotpAx">this form</a></strong>!  
<br>
However, this group is not trying to become another mega-slack-group with too many strangers. We want to make sure that each of us know one another by our face and our name~. So we might have to bring in new members in slowly and as a sustainable pace.
</p>

<h2>It’s not free to join, right?</h2>

<p>
Unfortunately, no. We started the community as a free-to-join group, but as we expanded, we realised we want to create a cozy corner for us to hangout, support each other, and our creative explorations. That is why we decided to have a collective piggy bank to help cover some of the group toolings we have and also to help the staff who are moderating the community.
</p>

<p>
We believe it takes a while to truly become a part of a friend and peer group. So we ask each member to commit to a minimum of three-month membership. Currently, as a member, we each contribute $20 to the piggy bank(might change in the future).
