The platform tailored to Black & LatinX entrepreneurs offers a filterable database of grants, accelerators, investors & software discounts, along with events & workshops and tutorial-style courses to help build your business simply & affordably.
Hey everyone 👋🏼
I’m Ayla, co-founder of GroTru. After really analyzing our audience needs, we had a huge pivot and are now beta testing the new and improved GroTru.
We know first hand how difficult the journey of entrepreneurship can be, with extra layers of complexity piled on top if you are Black or LatinX - which is shown by the horrific stat that only 2.4% of venture capital goes to Black & LatinX founders. So we set on a mission to tilt the scales back.
GroTru features
A database of grants - filterable by location, grant size, ethnicity & gender
A database of accelerators - filterable by location, industry, capital investment, ethnicity & gender
A database of investors - Majority focused on underrepresented founders, filterable by investment stage, industry, ethnicity & gender
Software solutions to help you build, including discounts
Tutorial style courses to teach you how to create your own assets, for example financial projections and brand books
Events and workshops to help you learn and network with other entrepreneurs and investors
We currently have an open beta testing phase, which knocks off 50% of the already low prices, after a 7-day free trial.
Access to grants, accelerators, investors & software solutions can be accessed for a monthly subscription of $4.50 (usually $9) events between $0-$15 (usually $0-$30) and courses for $24.50 (usually $49).
We would love feedback on the platform, as well as suggestions for improvements, other features and what courses you want to see!
Thank you all for being a part of our journey!!

Who hunted GroTru?
GroTru was hunted by Ayla Carlin. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
