📅 How often can I apply?
You can apply once per month. We recommend applying every month if you haven’t been selected yet — we see your persistence, and it matters! Each month is a new opportunity with new eyes reviewing applications.

🧑🏽‍💼 Who can apply?
The $500 grant is open to any U.S.-based entrepreneur — whether you’re:

• Hustling part-time after work

• Running a full-fledged business

• Selling your product out the trunk

• Dreaming up your first offer

As long as you’re serious about taking action, you qualify.

🪝 Is there a catch?
Nope. No fine print. No surprise fees.
The Fish Bowl Experience was built by real entrepreneurs, for real entrepreneurs.
We believe in showing up for people who show up for themselves.

This grant is 100% free to apply for and given away live on YouTube — plain and simple.

🔥 How do I increase my chances of being selected?
Great question. Here’s what makes a strong application stand out:

• Be specific about how you’d use the $500. Think: tools, supplies, marketing, growth moves.

• Be authentic. We want to feel your story — not a pitch-perfect answer.

• Show consistency. Reapply monthly, stay tapped in, and subscribe to our YouTube.

Bonus Tip:
👉🏽 If you also apply to pitch at The Fish Bowl Experience in November, you’ll be top of mind for larger opportunities too.

🎥 How will I know if I won?
We announce TWO winners every month live on YouTube (1st & 3rd Fridays).
Winners are contacted directly and shouted out on our socials too!
