Founders Bay Virtual Workshop: Navigating Grant Opportunities for Founders
Securing funding is one of the biggest challenges for early-stage founders, and non-dilutive grant opportunities can be a powerful way to fuel growth without giving up equity. In this workshop, Kyle Pickett will guide founders through the complex landscape of grants, showing where to find opportunities, how to qualify, and how to strengthen applications.
Drawing on his expertise as Director of Government Affairs at GridMatrix, Kyle will share insights into government, state, and private grant programs designed for startups and small businesses.
