Hi Everyone,
3 Key Points:
1. Grants by industry are below. Start thinking now about your grant calendar for 2021. Deadlines come fast.
2. I have another government-funded program interview for aspiring entrepreneurs. The next course starts in January – watch here.
3. If you want to meet me to discuss your grant needs, I have set up an online calendar where you can book a meeting. Five spots left this year.
Have a great week!
