Funding support at FITT

FITT invests early in deep-tech startups through its incubation and scale-up programmes, and says most of its companies are ones where it wrote the first cheque. It funds through three routes — grants, debt and equity — and helps founders raise from seed through later rounds.

What you get

• Grant support for early-stage teams refining an idea, building a prototype and testing market potential, assessed against the team's goals and a utilisation plan you submit
• Debt or equity investment for startups ready to scale
• Help identifying which of the government and corporate schemes FITT implements fits your stage and focus

Who can apply

• Deep-tech startups, from idea stage through post-revenue
• Companies in the incubation centre may apply to FITT's funding programmes, subject to due diligence

How to apply: Through FITT's incubation application. The funding programmes are competitive, and the team guides applicants on which scheme fits.
