Startup’s Growth Program · $100K Startup Fund
Fuel your startup with up to $100,000 of product value — on us.
TenGate is investing up to $100,000 of value on the TenGate Portal to build the next generation of tech startups. Not cash — a technical co-founder and a full product team that design, build, and ship your product, so you can turn an idea into a company without burning your runway on hiring.
A $100K head start, built not bankrolled
Most startup funds hand you credits and leave you to find a team. We are the team. Your $100,000 is delivered as real product work — strategy, design, engineering, and infrastructure — through the same TenGate Portal our clients use every day. You keep full ownership of what we build.
What startups get
Everything you need to get from idea to a product investors and customers take seriously — one team, one subscription-grade experience, no equity to raise for it.
A Technical Co-Founder
A hands-on CTO to own your technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap — so you make the right build decisions from day one.
A Full Product Team
Engineers, designers, and DevOps working around the clock on your product — one team, no hiring, no overhead.
Design & Branding
UX/UI, brand identity, and a design system that make your product look and feel ready for investors and customers.
Build & Launch
Web and mobile apps taken from MVP to production — shipped fast, iterated on real feedback, built to scale.
DevOps & Infrastructure
Cloud setup, CI/CD, security, and scaling handled for you — reliable infrastructure that grows with your traffic.
The TenGate Portal
Manage your team, track every task, comment and share files, and get real-time updates — on iOS, Android, and the web.
