About this opportunity
This one is for the beauty and wellness founder who is already making money and ready for more. Makers Mindset and The Equity Studio have opened their 2026 grant, and they are selecting five businesses to receive $10,000 in equity-free funding each, along with access to a founder community.
The grant wants traction, not just a dream. Your business must be legally registered in the U.
S. , at least 51% woman-owned, generating revenue for at least one full year, with annual revenue between $50,000 and $2 million and 10 employees or fewer.
Think haircare, scalp care and the wider world of beauty and wellness. Equity-free means the money is yours to put to work without giving up a share of what you built.
Applications close 9 October 2026. Head to the grant application page and send yours in.
