Hustler's MicroGrant
Created by Deja Vu Parker of WBLS

For the founders who are already doing the work.

Access to early-stage capital remains one of the greatest barriers to growth. The Hustler's MicroGrant exists to close that gap. Vision, impact, and momentum — that is what we look for.

What we look for

Three criteria. No business plan template required.

Vision
What are you building and why does it matter? A clear purpose, not a perfect pitch.
Impact
What does your business do for the people around it? Jobs created. Community served. Lives changed.
Forward momentum
How does this $1,000 move your business forward? A specific next step, not vague growth.
Two grants. One mission.

If you are a woman founder, you are eligible for both.
