Funding, drafted, checked, connected

Most founders never apply. The ones who do, apply blind.

We match you to the funds actually open to you, draft every answer from your own deck, check the deck the fund will read, then get you in the room with the people writing the cheques.

Common questions

Seed funding for startups across Africa, the US and Europe: common questions

Everything founders ask before they create an account.

Seed funding helps early-stage startups across Africa, the US and Europe build MVPs, hire early team members, run pilots, and reach initial traction.

On this page, seed funding includes equity-free grants, accelerator capital, angel investment, and early-stage venture funding available in 2026.

Create an account and we match opportunities to your country, sector, and stage automatically — no manual filtering through eligibility rules and deadlines required.

Both. We match you to the funds actually open to you, draft every application answer from your own deck, check the deck against the fund's own criteria, and connect you to the events where those investors show up.

Yes. Creating an account is free and gets you your matched list immediately, plus one full AI-drafted application, with no card required. Paid packages exist for founders who want more drafts, deck reviews, and hands-on support — see the pricing page for details.

Weekly. New grants, accelerators, and investor calls are added and stale or closed listings are removed, so the deadlines and eligibility you see are current, not scraped once and forgotten.

All four funding types: equity-free grants, accelerator cohorts, angel and VC investors, and debt financing — filtered the same way, by country, sector, and stage.

Nothing on our end delays you — you submit directly to the fund. We track the deadline and status on your account so you know what's outstanding, and we surface matched events where that fund's investors are likely to show up.

Most founders never apply. Don't be one of them.
