Hello Everyone,

In November 2016, we decided to explore ways to fund our startup. In the process, we found many equity free grants and it seemed like a viable option. The next thing we did was to collate a list of all the equity free funding options available across the globe in hopes of applying to those and getting into one.

Instead of just wasting the effort spent on secondary search, we put the list out at YourFirstInvestor.com (YFI). The response we received was phenomenal, and the feedback we received helped us evolve it into a product from just a list. So, YourFirstInvestor.com today hosts a curated list of equity free grants available across the globe and interviews with entrepreneurs who have attended these programs. We also send out a newsletter with info about application open dates and other noteworthy announcements from these programs.

We built YFI to help fellow founders explore various equity free funding options available across the globe to grow their startups. Please check it out and let us know your thoughts and suggestions...
