About Bootstrap Directory

A curated directory of startup grants, small-business loans, startup competitions, accelerators, revenue-based financing, tax credits, government contracts, startup perks, and workforce training funding, organized by category, state, and founder type. Each listing links straight to the official program or application page.

Browse the grants, startup funding, and business loans hubs, or search the directory.

We prioritize official sources such as government portals, agency and funder websites, universities, and workforce boards, and we refresh listings where source data allows. The details are in our data methodology. Always confirm eligibility, deadlines, and terms with the funder before applying.

Bootstrap Directory is operated by Cloudgentic AI, Inc. (formerly Forester IT).

Program operators can suggest a new listing or claim an existing one, and anyone can report a correction. Every request is reviewed by a person.
