Did you know VCs and non-dilutive funding are complimentary ways to fund your business? 🤝 VCs are incredibly valuable and take equity for their investment, whereas non-dilutive funding like government grants and debt take no equity, and grants don’t need to be paid back. In most cases, high-tech scale-ups will be too risky for commercial lenders like banks and or are at a scale that even awesome higher risk lenders like Tractor Ventures, can't meet so this is the hole that government debt can plug.

Why do startups put extensive effort into fundraising but often don't apply that same energy to grant opportunities? 🤔 As Michele Stansfield, CEO of Cauldron Ferm, observes, the effort put into a $10m fundraise is significant, yet many startups don't dedicate the same attention to grant applications, which can also provide crucial funding.

Is the government strict about grant amounts? For early-stage and growth grants, the government provides a clear funding cap in their guidelines.
