The Caribbean Export Development Agency in collaboration with the World Bank Group, has launched LINK-Caribbean, an Investment Acceleration Project that aims to assist promising entrepreneurs in developing their businesses and subsequently raising capital from investors. Investment Readiness (IR) Grants offer funding to start-up and early-stage enterprises that show business and investment promise but are still not considered “investment ready” by investors. Ideally, entrepreneurs applying for grants will have engaged with investors (or attempted to) and received some feedback on what key business milestones need to be met to improve the likelihood of investment. the application deadline for IR Grants is Sep. 22.
