We review each grant submission against our 5C Framework which analyzes five key components that successful businesses need to navigate:

- Context - Why is the market in your favor?
- Content - What's your compelling core narrative?
- Community - Have you found or created a community?
- Chemistry - Have you found your special sauce?
- Commerce - How do you make money?

Each applicant gets feedback in the form of their overall Freed score and recommendations to grow their business based on our review.

Grant recipients are also eligible to receive an additional end-of-year grant of $2,500.
