Summary
An annual funding initiative offers U.S.-based early-stage entrepreneurs a chance to gain non-dilutive support and visibility. Participants can apply for one of three cash awards designed to foster growth and momentum during crucial early phases.
Applicants begin with a simple online submission outlining their venture. All eligible small‑business owners are automatically considered for two runner‑up awards of modest size. Those who also join a founder-focused membership platform are eligible for a larger award with exclusive benefits tied to that community. Awards can be used flexibly—such as covering product development, operational costs, marketing campaigns, or other key investments that help scale the business.
Eligible participants include solo founders, small teams, and business owners who have formally launched but are still building traction. The program places extra emphasis on supporting business owners who may face barriers to traditional funding, including historically excluded entrepreneurs and community-centered founders.
This opportunity appeals to those looking for more than just financial assistance. All applicants—and especially those within the membership community—gain access to a supportive peer network, coaching, and educational resources that enhance readiness for future growth and capital raising.
Applications are accepted once yearly, with submissions typically opening shortly before the July deadline and winners announced in mid‑July. This predictable schedule allows businesses to plan and prepare their pitches around it, and winners often receive notice within a week or two after the deadline.
Whether you're focused on launching a new product, expanding operations, or building market awareness, this program offers a valuable boost at a pivotal moment. Even runner‑up awards provide meaningful capital, while membership unlocks access to a deeper support ecosystem and a chance at the grand award.
