        We believe in giving bright, driven young people a chance to bring their ideas to life. Through small grants, from € 250 to € 1,000, we help early-stage creators, makers, and entrepreneurs take the first step toward something big.
      

      
Our focus is simple: back bold ideas built with determination, curiosity, and heart. Every dollar counts, and every dollar is fully transparent. All donations received and grants distributed are publicly visible.

      

        If you, or someone you know, are building something promising and need a little boost to get started, fill out a short application form. If it is a good fit, we will be in touch. You will find some help to fill in the form.
