Etsy ended up raising its grant amount to $7,000 for 10 students, to allow for taxes, and signed on Yammer and 37signals to provide four more grants each, for a total of $126,000 offered for female students who asked for financial assistance. Hedlund said he’s ready and waiting to recruit some of those women when they finish the program, which was kicking off its very first day when I visited Etsy’s office last week.
