Fund13 Week 4 Update

Hello everyone!

We’re back with the latest updates from Fund13! After last week’s surge of submissions, we saw a lull in submissions the past week. Understandably, after that mad dash people are probably spending time getting their Partner proposals ready for the November 7th deadline.
