Say goodbye to scattered Google Sheets. We’ve curated the ultimate funding directory for African and global founders—grants, accelerators, pitch competitions & more.
Browse Founder OpportunitiesDiscover founder funding programs, accelerators, and grant opportunities. Filter by country and explore your next funding move.
From grants and accelerators to private equity and pitch decks—here’s what actually works when seeking funding in Nigeria, the UK, the US, or anywhere in between.
Not every startup needs VC. If you're early-stage, focus on grants, angel investors, or accelerator programs. Tools like pitch competitions and business plan challenges can also give you seed capital with zero equity loss.
Investors don’t fund vibes. They fund traction. Whether you're in fintech, e-commerce, or SaaS, a working MVP, user acquisition strategy, and clear monetization plan make your startup fundable. That’s where a startup marketing partner like Techdella can help.
Each funder has different goals. Accelerators love scalable impact, while government grants want job creation or innovation. Research what matters most to them and tweak your deck or proposal accordingly.
Traction isn't always revenue—it can be user signups, waitlists, pilot users, or press mentions. Want a shortcut to building it? Techdella's CMO-as-a-Service model helps you attract early adopters, craft viral launches, and scale awareness from day one.
Startup funding is a numbers game. That’s why we created the Techdella directory—to give you 30+ real programs per country to try. Bookmark this page. Apply consistently. And let us help with your growth strategy.
You’ve got passion, a deck, and maybe a prototype—but so do thousands of others. Here's why most pitches fail, and what the best-prepared founders do differently.
Funding follows validation. That means real users, waitlists, feedback, or pre-sales. Techdella helps founders build demand before asking for funding—because that’s how smart founders raise faster.
Ideas are cool. Monetization is cooler. Investors want to know how you’ll grow, retain users, and turn value into revenue. Our marketing experts help turn MVPs into conversion-ready growth engines.
A great deck is more than slides—it's a story. Your mission, problem, traction, and growth plan must spark belief. At Techdella, we help founders script pitch-worthy narratives that sell themselves.
Not all capital is equal. Here's how to choose between grants, accelerators, VCs, and angel investors—based on where you are now and where you're headed.
Free money—yes, really. Grants don’t require repayment or equity but often involve competition and reporting. Ideal for R&D, social impact, or early proof-of-concept stages.
Short-term, intense programs that often offer funding, mentorship, and access to investor networks. Best for pre-seed to seed-stage startups that need strategic acceleration. Techdella helps with accelerator-ready pitch assets.
High-net-worth individuals investing small amounts with high risk tolerance. Ideal for founders with strong storytelling and a clear market fit. Need an investor-ready deck? Techdella’s got you.
Venture Capital is scalable capital for startups with proven traction, high growth potential, and big markets. Often comes with expectations for fast scaling and eventual exit.
Investors don’t chase ideas. They chase signals. With a smart marketing strategy, your startup can attract capital by showing the traction funders want to see.
You’re not invisible—you’re under-marketed. Before you pitch, make sure you’re searchable. Position your brand with landing pages, social proof, and smart messaging.
Founders with newsletters, waitlists, and user feedback get funded faster. We help you build the kind of traction that VCs screenshot in their Slack channels.
People fund what they understand. Our startup branding agency turns complex offerings into emotional hooks that spark confidence. Let’s build your “fund me” story.
