Of 277 funders on the map, 104 back other sectors, 98 offer support, not funding, 61 back other stages, 8 are for nationals only, 7 are closed at the moment. Nothing on this page is scored by an AI: every line traces to a field on the funder’s own site, and a funder that publishes less ranks lower, never higher.
