McKinney Innovation Fund — Expansion Grant

The McKinney Innovation Fund Expansion Grant is the later-stage tier in McKinney Economic Development Corporation's Innovation Fund. It supports tech companies that are already operating in McKinney and want to scale from an established base. This route offers up to $500,000 and is tied to milestones rather than a simple lump-sum award. Applicants need at least 12 months of presence in McKinney, plus either $500,000 in annual recurring revenue or more than $1 million raised. The program is rolling and expects companies to be able to point to measurable growth before they apply. The eligibility bar is higher than the Growth Grant because MEDC is looking for companies that have already proved local traction and are ready for an expansion push. That makes the fit strongest for startups with a live market, a growing team, and a clear reason to stay rooted in McKinney while they scale. The emphasis is on performance and local commitment rather than experimentation.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
