HOW TO USE THIS
Use the finder to discover programmes, then verify terms at the agency.
Financing limits, rates, fund availability, application windows and detailed eligibility can change faster than economic statistics. PulseKita therefore stores a last-verified date and preserves the official source on every programme.
The next layer can attach potentially relevant support programmes to a Market Brief, using the entrepreneur's stated stage, need and funding amount rather than inferred personal characteristics.
