Free startup funding, without the gatekeeping.

Why we exist

Every year, central and state governments, public institutions and private programmes put crores of non-dilutive capital on the table for Indian startups. The money is real — but it's scattered across dozens of portals, buried in PDF circulars, and surrounded by middlemen who charge founders just to be told a scheme exists.

We think the facts about public funding should be free. So we collect them, verify them, write them up in plain language, and publish them here for anyone to read — no paywall, no hard signup wall, no "pay to see if you qualify".

What we do

• Track funding programmes — government schemes, accelerators, equity programmes, venture debt and challenge grants open to founders in India.
• Reduce each one to the facts that matter — amount, eligibility, deadline, how to apply, and the official application link.
• Keep listings current — programmes open and close in windows; we refresh status so you don't apply to a closed scheme.
• Stay neutral — we don't take a cut of your grant, and we never charge to "unlock" a listing.

What we don't do

We're a directory, not an agent. We don't file applications on your behalf, we don't promise approvals, and we don't do personalised "am I eligible" matching. Everything you need to research a programme and apply yourself is free on this site.

Accuracy & independence

Funding facts are sourced from official programme documentation and kept up to date. We summarise — we don't reproduce official text verbatim — and we link back to the source so you can always verify. Read our editorial & verification policy for exactly how a listing is researched, and our disclaimer for the limits of what a directory can promise.
