Non-dilutive money — public grants, competitions, and cloud credit programs open to app builders.

Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
No. AppFund is educational — it explains how app funding works in general terms. It is not professional financial, legal, or investment advice; consult a qualified advisor before making funding decisions.
Anywhere from near zero for a solo no-code build to six or seven figures for a funded team. The guides break down cost drivers so you can estimate your own case.
Most apps never raise VC. Bootstrapping, small angel checks, grants, and crowdfunding are all common paths, and the right one depends on how fast the app must grow.
