We read each scheme's real rules against your startup and score it honestly: strong match, worth a look, or long shot. Then you apply to the ones you can win.
Counts are live and rounded down, never up.

Your stage, sector, state and registrations, checked against what each scheme actually publishes.
One grant
Strong match, worth a look, or long shot. Nothing inflated, nothing hidden.
How It Works
Answer a few questions about your stage, sector, location, and what you are building. Under two minutes.
Every grant gets an honest score based on your profile. Not all grants are worth your time. We say so clearly.
Direct apply links, deadline tracking, and a one-page grant summary for every shortlisted grant. You spend time applying, not searching.
How we keep it honest
Dead apply links are removed from the catalog, not parked behind a button. When you click Apply, you land on the live form.
Strong match only when every rule a scheme publishes is met. A question we have not asked you never counts against you.
Application drafts, RFP checklists and cover letters are yours to edit. Nothing is submitted on your behalf, ever.
Profiles and documents are not sold and not shared with providers. Your incubator sees them only if you join its cohort.
Incubateer does not promise funding. It shows you where your eligibility is strongest, so your time goes where it can pay off.
Who it is for
Find, prioritise and track the grants worth your time. Deadlines, documents and drafts in one workspace, from idea stage to first revenue.

Incubateer is an AI-matched grant discovery platform for Indian startup founders and the incubators backing them. It indexes 9,500+ grant programs, scores each one honestly against your startup's eligibility profile, verifies the apply links, and tracks deadlines, applications, documents, and post-award compliance in one workspace.
9,500+ programs across India and the world. India set is the deepest: Startup India Seed Fund (SISFS), NIDHI Prayas, MSME schemes, Kerala Startup Mission grants, Karnataka Idea2POC, Tamil Nadu TANSEED, T-Hub programs, DPIIT-aligned schemes, sector accelerators, corporate innovation programs. Outside India: SBIR (USA), Innovate UK, EU Horizon, EIC, and major APAC programs. Catalog refreshes weekly. Apply links are re-checked.
A filter is binary, your sector matches or it doesn't. Incubateer's matching reads your full startup profile (stage, sector, state, revenue, team, registration status) against each grant's real eligibility criteria and gives one of three verdicts: strong match, worth a look, long shot. You see the ranked list, not all 9,500+.
No. The AI Lab includes a grant application drafter that produces a first-draft tailored to a specific grant's prompts. You review, edit, and submit. We don't auto-submit anything on your behalf, no founder should let an AI hit submit on a government form.
A portfolio dashboard showing every startup in your cohort with stage, sector, funding readiness, and grant activity. You can push specific grants to specific startups, track who applied and who won, and publish curated grant playlists your founders subscribe to.

Government grant portals frequently move or shut down without redirects, about half the 'official' grant pages on the internet are dead. Incubateer re-checks apply links continuously. When you click Apply on Incubateer, you land on the real, working form.
