For a small business, the hard part was never writing the application. It was knowing a grant is real, still open, and actually yours to win. Here is exactly what we do before a grant ever reaches your list, and before you send anything to a funder.
We re-check every grant against the funder's own page, every day
Our database watches 211 curated grant programs: federal, state, and private. A verifier re-reads each one against the funder's official page every day. If a deadline moves, a program closes, or the eligibility rules change, the listing updates or comes down. Every grant shows the date we last confirmed it. On top of that, every match run searches Grants.gov, the federal government's own database, live.
We drop grants that only look like they're for you
A lot of what gets called a “small business grant” is not one. Before a program is ever shown, our verifier reads the funder's page and answers two plain questions: can a small business itself receive this money, and is it actually a grant, meaning money you never pay back and give up no ownership for? We drop:
- money that really goes to an investor, fund, or lender instead of to the business
- tax credits, loans, and loan guarantees dressed up as grants
- contracts and procurement solicitations
- programs whose fine print excludes for-profit businesses (many “small business” federal notices really target nonprofits, universities, or research institutions)
- single-source awards already earmarked for one named organization
We run a separate check for nonprofits, so a nonprofit only sees grants a nonprofit can actually apply for.
We tell you why each grant fits your business
Every match comes with plain reasons it fits you: your industry, your state, how your business is owned, what you need the money for. No mystery score. If we cannot say why a grant fits you, it does not belong on your list.
A second AI reviewer checks every draft before you send it
When you have an application written, a second AI reviewer reads the finished draft and checks it against what you told us about your business. A second AI reviewer checks every draft and flags anything it cannot verify: a number that does not add up, a claim you never made, language a funder would question. You are never sending a funder something you cannot stand behind.
What we don't do
- We do not promise you will win. Grants are competitive, and anyone who guarantees funding is lying.
- We are not a human grant consultant. This is AI, and we say so plainly. You review, edit, and submit every application yourself.
- We do not charge you before you have seen your matches.
