For Startups: Grant Acceleration
AI-powered SBIR/STTR grant discovery, compliance scoring, and proposal generation. From idea to submission-ready draft in 48 hours.
Explore Grant AutomationThe Challenge
Founders face critical funding gaps between seed and Series A. While VCs focus on growth-stage, grants provide non-dilutive capital for R&D. But finding and applying for grants is a bottleneck:
- Discovery burden: 1,000+ grant sources across federal, state, and private agencies. Founders spend weeks researching.
- Time drain: Proposal writing takes 40-80 hours per application. Opportunity cost is enormous.
- Hit rate: Traditional approach has 15-25% success rate. Most proposals are rejected.
- Compliance risk: Each grant has unique requirements (SBIR Phase 1 vs Phase 2, state-specific rules). Non-compliance = automatic rejection.
