How do entrepreneurs become eligible for Sky’s the Limit grants?
STL offers a range of funding opportunities that are apply at different stages of the business journey.
Our core monthly grant program, the Friends & Family Fund grant, is available one time to all members who meet the following criteria: you must be based in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom and have a completed profile on Sky’s the Limit. Next, you must complete a Funding Pitch to let other members know how a grant would help fuel your business. The full guidelines for the Friends & Family process can be found here.
Other Funding Rounds typically have additional eligibility criteria which will be outlined in their descriptions. Here are some tips:
How are winner(s) selected?
Once an entrepreneur’s Funding Pitch is live, members of the community can view and boost it.
Entrepreneurs are only eligible to win each type of funding campaign once (BUT they are eligible for other types of funding rounds).
Entrepreneurs will be automatically entered for any round they are eligible for.
For Friends & Family Grants, one winner is chosen every month, typically on the last weekday of the month by 5pm PST / 8pm EST and notified of their status, and it's awarded based on the number of Boosts the community gives.
Depending on the type of Funding Round, there can be multiple winners in a Round.
Be sure to check out the Pitch FAQ to understand more.
Note: Sometimes entrepreneurs get enough boosts to win in their first month, sometimes it can take several months.
What does the entrepreneur actually win?
Entrepreneurs “win” the amount of money they requested on their campaign page in their budget, up to a maximum of $2,500 per entrepreneur (£ 2,000 in the UK). Entrepreneurs will receive this award in the form of a cash grant, upon signing a grant agreement. This money does not need to be paid back nor does Sky’s the Limit receive any material gain for it, however, the money does need to be spent on business-related expenses.
