From Our Founder

Like many entrepreneurs, I built my businesses from the ground up, but before I could even begin turning my dreams into reality, I faced a challenge that so many of us know all too well: How do I get the funding to launch my big idea?

For me (and countless others), it meant hustling through multiple jobs day and night—not just to get by, but to save up enough to self-fund the business I wanted to create.

Determined to speed up the process, I dove headfirst into the world of finance, searching for funding options. That’s when I came across a range of grant programs designed to help small businesses get off the ground.

At first glance, these grants seemed like the perfect solution. They were created to overcome financial obstacles and support new ideas that could spark economic growth by offering funding to entrepreneurs willing to jump through some hoops.

Sounds promising, right? Well, not quite.

I quickly learned that these grants weren’t as straightforward as they seemed. Many programs had such strict qualifications that it was nearly impossible to actually qualify and even if you did, the application process was so complex and time-consuming, you’d be grey-haired and 117 years old before you finished filling them out!

While I was initially excited by the possibility of securing a grant, I soon realized that it was far easier (and faster) to just roll up my sleeves and bootstrap my way to success.

In the end, I did manage to launch multiple businesses that went on to thrive, but my frustrating experience with grants always stuck with me. I kept wondering: Wasn’t there a better way to do this? A way to simplify the process for other entrepreneurs who just needed a little help?

Then it hit me like a bolt of lightning—why not be the one to create the change I was wishing for? What if I could build a grant program that anyone could apply for, with a simple, straightforward process that actually gave people a real shot at success?

And so, incrediGrant was born.

Now, entrepreneurs with a business idea or an active business can apply for an incrediGrant and get the support they deserve—without jumping through endless hoops or filling out pages of complicated paperwork. It’s time to make funding simple, accessible, and truly empowering for every business dreamer out there!
