About Business Chain

Business Chain is a catalogue of funding for startup founders — accelerators, grants, fellowships and repayable finance — kept accurate enough to plan around.

What is here

Every programme in the catalogue says what it gives, who can apply and whether applications are open, and links to the organiser's own page. Where an organiser does not publish an amount, we say so rather than leave a blank or guess at a range.

How it is kept true

Figures are read from the organiser's own site and checked against it — a number that does not appear on their page does not get published on ours. Every entry is re-read once a week, because programmes close, rename and move: one in this catalogue had its domain expire and start serving something else entirely, and that is how we found out.

Matching and applications

Add your project and the catalogue narrows to the programmes it actually fits by stage, industry and region. The application helper drafts answers to a programme's questions using only what you have written about your project — it will say you have no traction to report rather than invent some.

Building the product

Most early-stage funding asks to see something working. We also build MVPs — the demo, the business plan and the pitch deck prepared against the requirements of the programme you are applying to.
