Funding & Capital

All the ways to fund your cohorts — in one place, fully customizable
The Funding & Capital module gives your founders smart, stage-specific guidance on how to fund their startup — from grants to VCs, debt to crowdfunding.

But this isn’t just listings. It’s a dynamic, highly curated, and fully customizable system built for startup ecosystems.

It comes preloaded with tens of thousands of verified capital sources — from global VC firms to local grant programs — all reviewed for startup relevance. Every listing is tagged by use case, geography, and lifecycle stage, so founders don’t waste time sorting through noise.

And it’s not static. Program managers have full control to edit, remove, or add their own listings. That means you can highlight local resources, showcase regional investors, or build an entirely custom capital experience for your cohort.

This is more than listings — it’s a living capital infrastructure for your ecosystem.
