This call is for startup teams created by the Venture Builders in the Seedbed Venture Catalyst programme

This call provides funding to support founders who have reached a point in their venture-building journey where they need external financial support to overcome hurdles and blockages that are impeding their progress.

Examples of ways the funds could help include the production of a test batch of a novel ingredient, negotiation of contracts, securing IP, hiring or paying a co-founder to enable them to remain in the programme, or purchasing equipment for a test lab facility.

Important: Only projects from the seven Venture Catalyst partners are eligible. These are: Carbon13, Enviu, FOOD FOUNDERS, Fresh Ventures, Ivoro, Kost Studio and Zinc.
