$1,500 Travel Scholarship for WordCamp US

Kinsta, a WordPress managed hosting company founded in 2013, is continuing to contribute back to the WordPress community. Last month, Kinsta gave away 10 tickets to attend WordCamp US December 2-4, in Philadelphia, PA. Now the company is offering one travel scholarship to the event valued at $1,500. The winner is required to purchase lodging, airfare, and a ticket to the event. Kinsta will then reimburse the winner up to $1,500 via PayPal. Reimbursements are only available for travel expenses related to WordCamp US.
Kinsta Contributes a Percentage of its Revenue Back to WordPress
Kinsta is a team of twelve people that’s generating seven-figure revenue. Sean O’Brien, Chief Operating Officer, explains why the company is financially giving back to WordPress.
“When I came on board at Kinsta last July, one of my goals was to have us support the community in terms of a percentage of revenue that would grow over time,” O’Brien said. “So we are trying to punch above our weight when it comes to giving back.”
Kinsta has sponsored the following WordCamps in 2016 with plans to sponsor at least 15-20 WordCamps in 2017.
