Upsurge Grants

We're starting a small experiment.

We've met so many builders - hackers, researchers, devs - all who are doing incredible work in AI, robotics, hardware, biotech and games. But a lot of them are early. Like really early. Before the pitch decks, before the traction, before anyone takes them seriously.

We want to change that. So we're launching Upsurge Grants. Grants between $500–$2,000 for people building wild, weird, ambitious things.

No equity.

Just that we see what you're trying to do, and we want to help.

If you're solo, indie, maybe working out of your bedroom; perfect. If you've already raised or scaled, this probably isn't for you.

We're not looking for the next unicorn. We're looking for the next wave of builders who care deeply about what they're making.

It's not just money either. We're building something for people who actually ship - who think out loud, show up consistently, and make things happen.

If that's you, apply. If it's your friend, send it to them.

We'll keep this simple. Scrappy on purpose. APPLY NOW
