As near as I can make out, the Sovereign Tech Fund Bug Resilience 
Program application 
<https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/public/files/BRP_Application_EN.pdf> 
provides funding only for bug bounties, where the bugs are security 
vulnerabilities. (The other help it offers is all in-kind.)

How well would that mental list mesh with the idea of funding based on 
security vulnerability bounties?
