Not the same thing

These pieces argue a position. They are not the place to look up a rule, a rate or a deadline, and we keep the two apart on purpose. The rules live in the knowledge base, where every page carries the official source next to the answer and the date we last checked it, because the numbers that matter here change every January and most of the pages you will find elsewhere do not.

The knowledge base

Why the order matters

Money that costs no equity comes first.

An early-stage grant roughly doubles the odds of follow-on VC funding. That is why the subsidy stack is built before the round, not after it.
