TLDR: A platform ****which tracks grants, accelerators, benefits and tax incentives available to startups based on their location and size

But here’s the thing. There are countless benefits out there to help startups succeed. Large companies offer discounts on software and hosting fees, there are incredibly lucrative tax breaks like QSBS (which most founders have never even heard of) and there are all kinds of grants and other supports available to fledgling startups. The problem? They’re incredibly hard to find and time consuming to apply for. So let’s build some software to solve for this.
Market Size: There are around 100,000 startups in the US alone (depending on your definition of what constitutes a startup of course). Bottom line is this is a gigantic market!
The Idea: A platform ****which tracks grants, accelerators, benefits and tax incentives available to startups based on their location and size
