Explore trackThe ScaleUp Project
Understand your finances, strengthen your presence, and reach appropriate support.
Free core tools for entrepreneurs—education, forecasts, and capital navigation. We never guarantee funding, rankings, or business outcomes.
Who we serve
Built for founders who need clarity before capital.
Whether you are launching, stabilizing, or preparing to grow, The ScaleUp Project offers structured tracks—not hype, and not a bank.
Eligibility language
Programs may prioritize historically under-resourced founders and Seattle / King County outreach, but eligibility is never hard-coded to one region or demographic. Protected characteristics are never inferred.
How support works
A clear path from profile to next action.
Save progress anytime. Your 30-day action plan comes from deterministic rules—AI may help wording later, never invent facts.
01
Share your stage
Create a profile, set goals, and complete a short financial and marketing snapshot at your pace.
02
Use practical tools
Organize cash views, draft local visibility tasks, and build funding readiness checklists—educational, not advice.
03
Match and apply with humans
See transparent opportunity fits. Microgrants and awards use human review. Providers decide outcomes.
Featured tools
Core entrepreneur tools are free by default.
Use what you need. Connect a bank only if you choose—credentials are never stored by us.
Financial planning tools
Manual entry, CSV import, and forecasts with disclosed assumptions.
Marketing education
Brand kit drafts and local SEO task lists—no invented testimonials.
Capital navigation
Rule-based matches and grant pathways. Lending stays off until approved.
Programs
Three tracks. One honest pace.
Launch, Stabilize, or Scale—recommended from your profile, always changeable.

Pilot transparency
Impact reporting
Impact reporting begins after the pilot. Demo figures elsewhere in the product are labeled fictional and are never presented as live outcomes.
