Free Money to Grow Your Startup? Apply for Grant Funding

At Tortoise Labs, our small product studio in the middle of Maine, we've gained a lot of experience seeking grant funding for our internal projects and advising the founders of the businesses we help start and grow.

Over the last two years, we've received hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funds for ourselves and others. However, before 2019, we had never considered grants viable funding opportunities for product studios like us or for the startups in Maine that we help to start and grow.

We get a ton of questions about when grant funding is ideal, what the process is like, and how to get started, so I thought that it would be a good idea to write a short article about it.

If you're interested in reading the article, here is the link.

If you're someone who's interested in grant funding, I'd be very happy to answer any questions you've got about our experience (or introduce you to the resources that have been most helpful for our team).
