Grants + releases

Grant lifecycle

• Allocated — admin assigns a grant amount to a specific project from the pool. Project page shows the sponsor badge.
• Releasing — admin marks a tranche delivered (after founder hits a milestone). Money moves to founder via Stripe payout.
• Completed — final tranche released. Grant closed.
• Cancelled — admin cancels (project abandoned, fraud detected, etc.). Allocation returns to pool.

Release in tranches

Default: 1-3 tranches per grant, tied to project milestones. Admin (Spruvly side) reviews milestone evidence and triggers release. Founders see the receipt in their Stripe Dashboard same day.

How tranches work in v1

In v1 we release via bank wire from Emira Studio OÜ → founder Stripe Connect account. Stripe payout automation lands in Phase 5B once we have multiple active pools and proven volume.

What sponsors see

• Real-time view of pool allocation: total funded, allocated, released.
• Per-grant view: which project, current status, milestones hit.
• Case study links as projects ship.

Contracts

Each sponsorship is a separate B2B partnership agreement with Emira Studio OÜ — covers pool size, term, exclusivity (if any), case study rights, payment terms.
