Business grant competition
A competition where the best 20 are picked and funded
Each round, businesses submit their numbers, their pitch and their documents. The committee scores every entry against the same criteria, and the twenty strongest are selected and funded. One flat $5 entry, nothing else.
$5 flat entry
One fee per entry, charged in your local currency by mobile money. The same for every entrepreneur, in every country.
Every entry is scored
The committee scores business model, market, traction, financials and legal compliance, then publishes your position on your tracking page.
The best 20 are funded
When entries close, the twenty highest-ranked businesses are selected and funded. No waiting list: twenty winners, paid.

Live leaderboard
Top 20 currently in the lead
Every paid entry is scored on the same criteria. This is the ranking as it stands today — the twenty positions that get funded when entries close.
The leaderboard fills up once this round's first entries are scored. Enter your business to take a position.
Scores are out of 100, weighing business model, market, traction, numbers and pitch clarity. Rankings move as the committee reviews entries.
A business grant, not NGO funding
This money goes to a business that already works. The committee does not fund intentions, community projects or overheads — it ranks revenue, customers and execution. Spend less energy explaining what you plan to do, and more proving your business can work.
- Show what the business has already proven: revenue, customers, repeat sales.
- Ranking follows evidence, not ambition or the length of your plan.
- A promising but unproven entry ranks below a business that is already selling.
Entry form
Five sections, one entry
Lead with proof: revenue, customers and traction first, and keep your plans short. The flat $5 entry fee is charged when you submit.
