Details:
The FORGE Product Development Grant (FPDG) is non-dilutive funding awarded to a cleantech startup(s) to support the development of a physical product. This Female- and Non-Binary- Led offering is dedicated specifically to boosting the trajectory of these often underserved leaders that traditionally launch with less capital investment.
The goal of the grant is to remove barriers to scale and manufacturing, providing the necessary funds for a specific product development challenge critical to the company’s ability to scale and/or reach the marketplace. The successful grant application will pinpoint that challenge and articulate how the grant funds will be used to overcome the roadblock.
Funding Information
This grant will range between $5k-$25k, and must be used by the winning startup(s) to address a specific product development challenge, informed by an accompanying quote and/or work order from a U.S. based supplier.

The cleantech sectors eligible for the FORGE Product Development Grant include building and energy efficiency; energy generation/storage/distribution; chemical and advanced materials; robotics and process efficiency; smart cities; water tech; agriculture, and waste industries.
