How StayClued sources and reviews funding data

Editorial methodology · Data current to 2026-08-24

What StayClued publishes

StayClued is a free directory for comparing startup accelerators, grants and venture funds. Profiles bring together decision-useful facts and direct links so founders can evaluate opportunities without treating inclusion as an endorsement.

Sources and verification

We prefer the most specific official program, funder or investor page available. Where useful and available, records can also cite independent reporting or maintained public datasets. Unknown fields stay unknown; a missing fact is not inferred from a similar program.

Time-sensitive information

Application status, deadlines, terms and contact routes can change. StayClued tracks source review dates and suppresses expired or review-state claims when current evidence is not strong enough to publish them. Always confirm time-sensitive details on the linked official page before applying.

Ranking and limitations

Directory tiers and ordering are comparison aids based on the catalog's available evidence, not guarantees of quality, acceptance, funding or fit. Coverage differs by record, and StayClued is not affiliated with the listed organizations unless a profile explicitly says otherwise.

Corrections and contributions

Visitors can submit a new opportunity or provide a specific evidence URL for a correction in the live directory. Contributions enter a review queue and are not published automatically.
