What it takes
Check whether a fee waiver applies to you, then submit an application with a €50 non-refundable application fee.
Provide a specific, realistic plan for how €10,000 would advance the business, broken into clear line items with outcomes attached.
Show early progress or validation, however small, and demonstrate how you have moved forward with limited support.
Wait for a winner announcement, which comes within the first month of the quarter following the application window, with all applicants notified by email.
Worth knowing
One to five grants are awarded each quarter depending on the funding pool, and every eligible applicant who does not receive a grant still gets Founderland community membership, resource-library access, and invitations to quarterly networking events.
