Merge Grants

More Than Just Cash
Beyond the no-strings-attached funding, Merge Grants comes with incredible perks and community benefits to supercharge your building journey.
Cash to Unblock Progress
Whether you need $100 or $1,000 to make progress on your idea, we're there to clear your first blockers.
$800k in Credits
Whether you're looking to incorporate your idea into a company with Stripe Atlas or host your database with Supabase, we have you covered with top-drawer discounts and perks.
Community of Builders
Meet other builders on the ODF and Solo Founders community platform. Weekly accountability, forum, chats, and more.
Even the most ambitious young builders often face financial blockers when getting started.
We've seen what happens when you remove these early friction points. Young people create remarkable things when they're unblocked at the right moment. Too early for dilutive cash from angels or VCs, right in time for their first vote of confidence.
We give you money (between $100 and $1,000) and support for your idea—no strings attached. We get no equity, ownership, or future right to invest. You'll also get perks (hosting credits, etc) and access to the ODF community.
