Funding & Disbursements

Funding Overview#

Startups enrolled in funded programs can submit funding requests and track disbursements through the portal. The funding system supports multiple tranches, conditional releases, and complete audit trails for transparency. A startup its incubator brought in from its records (it never applied) asks the same way, on the registration made for its place; with no approved amount, up to what the programme's funds still hold.

Submitting Funding Requests#

• Select the program and funding source to request from
• Specify the requested amount and purpose
• Provide supporting documentation for the request
• Submit milestones achieved that qualify for disbursement
• Follow the request as it moves through Pending, then Approved or Rejected - you can cancel your own request while it is still pending
• Receive notifications on request status changes

Disbursement Tracking#

Once approved, disbursements are released in tranches as defined by the program structure. Each tranche has specific conditions that must be met before release.

• View all disbursement tranches and their conditions
• Track which tranches have been released and which are pending
• See total amount disbursed vs total allocated
• Download disbursement receipts and documentation
• View disbursement schedule and expected dates
• Track percentage completion of total program funding

Data Collection & Compliance#

Incubators may require periodic data submissions as a condition for continued funding. These data collection forms gather metrics, progress reports, and financial updates.

• Receive data collection form assignments from the incubator
• Fill structured forms with required metrics and information
• Submit forms before deadlines to maintain compliance
• View submission history and past responses
• Track upcoming data collection deadlines
• Non-compliance may delay pending disbursements
