What funding opportunities does Sky’s the Limit offer?
Sky’s the Limit offers monthly funding opportunities in the form of our Friends & Family Fund. Each month, we award a $2,500 / GBP2,000 startup grant to help young underrepresented entrepreneurs get closer to their business dreams.
Many entrepreneurs get their start by borrowing money from those around them. This kind of “friends and family” support works well for some, but at Sky’s the Limit, we know that plan doesn’t work for everyone, so we are pleased to help fill that gap.
Once an entrepreneur is eligible for funding and uploads their pitch, members of the community can boost their favorites! At the end of the month, the entrepreneur with the most boosts wins the grant.You can learn more by visiting the Friends & Family grant page.
Throughout the year, we also make available a range of funding opportunities for qualifying entrepreneurs based on different programs and initiatives. Entrepreneurs will be automatically entered for any rounds they qualify for, and we'll also message about any special or unique opportunities.
Note: Timelines to determine the grant winner can vary. Sometimes entrepreneurs win in their first month, sometimes it can take several months to win.

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.
