Startups that receive investment at the end of Phase 1 will receive €100k total funding. This is made up of the €6K grant per cofounder for Phase 1 and the investment tops up the funding to €100K, for 10% of your company.
For example, along with the grants paid in the first part of the platform, we invest:
- €88,000 in companies with 2 co-founders (Minus 2 x €6k grants)
- €82,000 in companies with 3 co-founders (Minus 3 x €6k grants)
No, all grants are non-refundable
