Before you sell 10% of your company, check whether someone is willing to give you the money without taking any of it.
Most founders default to VC because it’s the funding market they can see. But underneath there is an entire layer of startup capital that most founders barely touch: grants, prizes, government programmes, R&D incentives, cloud credits, fellowships and other non-dilutive funding.
The problem is finding the right programs, figuring out whether you qualify and surviving the application process.
So we built both parts:
A database of 150+ funding opportunities
a Claude agent that interviews you, finds the ones worth applying to, and helps write the applications.
Inside you will find:

The full database includes 150+ funding opportunities across 9 categories:
Government Innovation GrantsR&D Tax Credits & Cash RefundsRevenue-Based Financing & Customer CapitalVenture Debt & Growth LoansPrizes, Competitions & FellowshipsCloud, AI & Infrastructure CreditsCorporate & Platform ProgramsPhilanthropic & Mission CapitalPublic Procurement & Innovation Contracts
For every opportunity, the database tells you:
Funding source→ who is offering the moneyType of funding→ grant, prize, credit, contract, R&D incentive, financing, and moreCountry / region→ where you need to be based or operateStage→ from pre-seed to growthFunding amount→ minimum and maximum availableWhat it actually is→ a plain-English explanation of the programmeKey requirements→ who can apply and what you need to qualifyDeadline / cadence→ rolling, annual, or fixed application windowsTime to money→ roughly how long it takes to get fundedBest for→ the type of startup most likely to benefit
Keeping your shares is the argument everyone already knows. Three others matter more.
**Price.**A seed round raised on a story gets priced like a story. The same round raised eighteen months later, with the engineering funded by a grant and the infrastructure funded by credits, gets priced on a working product with customers on it. What you save is the gap between those two prices.**Timing.**Grant committees do not care that the market cooled. Tax authorities have no investment thesis. This is the one line in your funding mix that behaves identically in a bad quarter.**Signal.**Innovation agencies run technical diligence most seed funds cannot staff. Winning one is something a lender will price and an investor will notice.
There is still one problem. Even with everything organized, 150+ opportunities are too many to review manually.
That is where Claude comes in:
**interviews you first.Before you look at a single programme, Claude asks you the twenty-odd questions that determine eligibility across every scheme in the listcuts the list down to what you can actually win.It runs your profile against all the sources and sorts them into eligible, ineligible and unclearreads the call documents so you don’t have to.Point it at a specific programme and it extracts the real questions, the published scoring grid and the weights and the profile of who has won beforeit re-interviews you to write the application.**The second interview is narrower and harder: it asks you the questions the evaluator will ask, in the evaluator’s order, and turns your answers into the application.
