How it works

Three ways to fund. One clear path.

SOW offers equity and grants, and matches the right instrument to your stage. Here's how each works, and what happens from the moment you apply.

Funding types

Capital matched to your stage

You don't have to know which one you need. Tell us about your business and we'll recommend the right fit.

Equity

Growth capital in exchange for a minority stake. Best for scalable businesses ready to expand, where a long-term partner adds more than money.

  • For scale-ready, high-growth businesses
  • Patient capital and hands-on partnership
  • Aligned incentives, we win when you win

Grants

Catalytic, non-dilutive funding for early and impact-first ventures solving meaningful problems.

  • No equity, no repayment
  • For early-stage, impact-first ventures
  • Designed to unlock the next stage
