Community and Regional Partner Fund
Backs accelerators and incubators supporting early-stage entrepreneurs across New York State.
The Community and Regional Partner Fund provides matching capital of up to $5 million per applicant to accelerators, venture studios, and incubators that support early-stage New York State entrepreneurs. The fund is backed by $42 million in SSBCI capital (note: the NY Ventures hub page cites $52M — source discrepancy preserved). Every dollar of SSBCI funding requires $1 of private capital match. Eligible organizations must demonstrate capability to leverage New York's innovation ecosystem, established networks for partnerships and outreach, experience de-risking companies through mentorship-based programming, and proven tracking and reporting mechanisms.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
