For small business owners
Separate real non-dilutive funding from the noise: SBIR/STTR, state incentives, and certification-gated programs you qualify for today.
Built for Small businesses, startups, and founders chasing non-dilutive capital.
What you get
Size standards, certifications, SBIR/STTR rules, and state incentives assembled into one command center — application after application.
Your NAICS code run against current SBA employee and revenue thresholds before anything is scored.
8(a), HUBZone, WOSB/EDWOSB, and SDVOSB status mapped to the programs each one actually unlocks.
Phase, ownership, principal investigator, and place-of-performance rules checked per agency.
Incentives, revolving loan funds, and Opportunity Zone programs matched to your registered locations.
Grants, forgivable loans, tax credits, and conventional debt are labeled — never blended together.
Fee-charging "grant" offers and unverifiable programs are flagged with a source confidence score.
Eligibility first
Most tools show you everything and let you discover the disqualifier on page nine of the notice. We check the hard rules first and tell you plainly when the answer is no.
Sources we track
Each opportunity carries a source link and a last-verified timestamp. When a source changes, tracked matches are re-scored and you are alerted.
Three moves
Profile, financials, documents, and reusable answers assembled once so no application starts from zero.
Readiness and weighted fit on every opportunity, so your hours go where they can actually win.
Budget checks, a review gate, then report calendars and outcome tracking that keep the relationship alive.
The intelligence layer
A binary pass/fail against the funder's stated rules. If you cannot apply, it is not a match — no matter how well it reads.
Whether your organization's size, history, and capacity resemble what this funder has actually funded before.
What you must have in place — registrations, financials, attachments — and what is missing right now.
An estimate of hours, documents, and approvals so you can weigh pursuit cost against expected value.
Every field is traced to a source with a last-verified timestamp. AI never overrides verified source data.
