Great startups are born in software houses.
We give them the fuel.

Why we exist. People who can build software shouldn’t wait months for funding.

Read the FAQ
  • Software houses already have the hard part. They know how to design, build and ship. What they often lack is the capital to do it for themselves.
  • Banks and public grants are too slow. Months of waiting, red tape, paperwork. Meanwhile, the market moves on. That’s why we answer in 24 hours.
  • A grant cuts the risk. By covering up to 40% of the budget with nothing to pay back, we make launching new startups sustainable.
  • We grow together. Every new startup strengthens the network of professionals, companies and founders behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your answer? Write to us and we’ll reply within one business day.

What does “non-repayable grant” mean?

It’s the part of the funding you never pay back. We cover up to 40% of the project’s development budget; the exact share depends on the outcome of the analysis.

Who can apply?

Founders (individuals), companies and startups with an innovative project and a quote from the software house that will build it. Software houses building a product of their own can apply too.

Why do you fund software houses directly?

Because they’re the ones building the product. Paying the builders directly cuts out steps, speeds things up and ensures the capital goes into the product.

How do you answer within 24 hours?

Your pitch is analysed automatically against objective criteria (team, market, product, sustainability), then reviewed by our team. No queues, no committees that meet once a month.

What do I need to send?

Your personal or company details, a description of the project and team, the software house’s signed quote, the amount requested with how you’ll use it, and your pitch deck. Images, video and extra documents are optional.

Where is FundFound based?

Our registered office is in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We work with software houses and partners all over the world.

What if my project isn’t approved?

You still get feedback on what to improve. You can resubmit your pitch once the project is more mature.

You bring the idea. We bring the funding.
