Yes — several of Australia's most valuable programs are built for exactly that stage. The R&D Tax Incentive pays a refundable 43.5% offset as a cash refund even if you're running at a loss, and CSIRO Kick-Start funds startups under $10 million turnover or under 3 years old to work with CSIRO researchers. Pre-revenue isn't a barrier; it's often the target audience.
Most grants require a registered entity — an ABN, and for the R&D Tax Incentive specifically an incorporated company. At pure idea stage, your best on-ramp is Self-Employment Assistance (free small-business coaching and support for new businesses) while you incorporate. The moment you have a company and an ABN, the real funding menu opens up.
A grant is non-dilutive — you keep 100% of your company and never repay the money, as long as you meet the program's conditions. Equity investment trades ownership for capital. One honest nuance: some programs that look like grants are actually investment — the GRIFFIN Accelerator, for example, offers up to $100,000 as mentor investment (equity), not a grant. Grantiv labels these plainly so you know what you're applying for.
The R&DTI gives companies with turnover under $20 million a refundable tax offset of 43.5% on eligible R&D — paid as a cash refund even pre-profit. Eligible R&D is broader than lab coats: developing new software, building a novel product, or engineering an uncertain technical solution can all qualify. You must register with AusIndustry within 10 months of your income year-end — a hard deadline that catches founders out.
Yes, and they're often matched funding: Queensland's Ignite Ideas (up to $200k for commercialising at MVP stage or beyond), NSW's MVP Ventures ($25k–$50k), and South Australia's Seed-Start ($100k–$500k) all target startups commercialising something new. Rounds open and close, so timing matters — the finder tracks current status.
No. Unlike a loan, a grant is non-dilutive, non-repayable funding — you don't repay it and you don't give up equity, as long as you meet the program's conditions and reporting requirements.
Yes — tell Grantiv what you want to fund and what your organisation does. Your strongest current match is shown immediately. A work email reveals the remaining redacted matches and keeps the search on file.
Grantiv reads what you're actually building — your state, stage and what you need funded — and matches you against current programs, scoring each on fit. A pre-revenue SaaS company sees a different list than a hardware startup raising its first round.
The R&D Tax Incentive and CSIRO Kick-Start run year-round; state commercialisation rounds open and close — sometimes within days once funding is allocated. Our free fortnightly email flags what's opening before it does.
Grantiv helps you find the grants that fit, and the Application Writer helps you draft the application with the grant criteria in view. You stay in control and submit through the official government portal — always confirm the current round, eligibility and deadlines on the grant's official page before applying.
