Startup Support Fund

Sponsor Dollars That Go to Work for Founders.

Corporate sponsorship does more than keep this site free. A portion of it funds vouchers that help startups pay for the services they need to get started — legal setup, CPA and bookkeeping work, advertising, design, software, insurance, payroll, permits, and workspace.

How It Works

1. Tell us about your startup and the service you need.
2. Our team reviews each application.
3. Approved startups receive a voucher to use with a provider in our business directory.

Providers Must Be Listed

Businesses have to be in our directory to receive startup referrals and voucher redemptions.
