North Dakota has an unfair advantage for entrepreneurs. Today we are excited to benefit from this support.

In a significant boost to our journey, the State of North Dakota, through its Legacy Investment for Technology Loan Fund (LIFT), has awarded Chipp $400,000 in funding. Here’s why it is transformational for our company and a reflection of the potential of North Dakota as a home for innovative technology:

The Vision in North Dakota

This remarkable milestone could not have been achieved without the visionary architects of the LIFT program and the vibrant ecosystem that North Dakota has cultivated for innovators like us. The program managed in partnership with the Bank of North Dakota, aims to propel companies working in sectors critical to diversifying and strengthening our state's economy. With a focus on areas such as advanced computing, AI, and more, LIFT is a beacon of support for startups poised for growth.

The Vision of Chipp

Chipp's mission is to democratize AI, making it accessible for businesses to build, share, and sell custom ChatGPT applications. This funding is not just a financial boost but a validation of our vision to make AI integration seamless for businesses of all sizes. The flexibility and terms of the LIFT loan, including 0% interest for the initial years, provide us with the runway needed to scale our operations and enhance our offerings.

Not only is the support helpful financially, but it also provides the support that helps us continue to build. That’s why ND is great. Builders in ND are supported, encouraged, and propelled by initiatives that recognize the importance of innovation.
