Our thesis

Billions in funding go unclaimed every year because discovery is broken

Federal agencies, states, foundations, and corporations publish thousands of programs. Eligibility is buried in PDFs, deadlines live on ten different portals, and writing is a specialist skill. The result: companies that qualify never apply, and programs built to be used go under-subscribed.

Grants AI compresses the discovery phase to minutes, makes eligibility explicit instead of implied, and turns a matched program into a structured first draft — so the effort goes into the work the funder is paying for.

Principles

How we build

Explain every recommendation

A score without reasoning is a slot machine. Every match shows its factors, its notes, and the gaps that would change the number.

Never invent facts

Drafting only uses your real profile fields and the funder’s own published requirements. Unknowns are marked for you to fill in.

Fit the team you have

Most organizations applying for grants do not have a grants office. The product is built for a founder or program lead working nights.

Fail soft

No backend keys, no LLM key, a funder API having a bad day — the workspace still does the job instead of showing an error page.

Coverage

What the database models

  • Federal innovation programs

    SBIR/STTR across NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, EPA, DOT, and DoD components, plus set-aside and rapid prototyping tracks.

  • Community and regional funds

    USDA rural business programs, EDA Build to Scale, EPA environmental justice, HRSA rural health, and SBA accelerator prizes.

  • State and foundation programs

    State innovation and matching grants, corporate small-business grants, and fellowship-style funding for social enterprises.

Verify before you apply

The bundled catalog is representative sample data for demonstration. Always confirm eligibility, amounts, and deadlines on the funder's official notice — or enable live Grants.gov sync in production.
