Every week for a year, we’ve shared grant opportunities for business owners here.
But one thing kept standing out: service providers were often left out.
Think: coaches, photographers, creators, fitness trainers…
So we decided to change that.
Because sometimes, all you need is a little push.
✨ Introducing our first Investrio micro-grant
