Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions about Georgia Kickstart Fund grants and the application process.
Do I need a finished product?
A strong starting point is a specific problem, a clear customer, and evidence that your solution is worth testing. Show what you have learned and what you will do next.
What should I ask for?
Build your request around a concrete milestone. Explain what each dollar supports, how you estimated the cost, and what progress the grant will make possible.
How do I make my pitch stronger?
Lead with the customer problem. Bring evidence, explain your business model, and make a focused grant request. Be candid about what you still need to learn.
Can I apply more than once?
Each company may submit one application and receive no more than one grant per academic semester. You can find the complete policy in the full terms on our Apply page.
