Media kit & partnerships
The Grant Index is a free directory of startup grants, credits and perks from AI labs, clouds, GPU makers, SaaS tools and governments, with an eligibility checker that compares a startup against each program's published rules. Every program has its own page with the value, who qualifies, how to apply, a link to the official page and the date we last verified it. No signup, no paywall.
Who it's for
Early-stage founders (idea, pre-seed and seed), indie hackers, student and researcher founders, and the accelerators, hackathons and communities that support them: people looking for equity-free cloud, AI and GPU credits, SaaS perks and non-dilutive grants.
