Grantrepreneurs

Startup founders relying on grants and government funding, often at the expense of growing their early-stage ventures in the ‘common’ investor-funding (or bootsrapping) way. You can find tGrantrepreneurs mainly in Europe.
"Young founders should be mindful about not becoming Grantrepreneurs and investors weighing up opportunities should view Grantrepreneurs as a potential red flag - a negative signal as per their overall entrepreneurial strength."
