We’re not grant writers. We’re funding strategists.
Government funding isn’t just a check—it’s time, proof, and credibility for your next raise. Our team blends program expertise, finance, and commercialization to build non‑dilutive portfolios that move valuation.
OUR MISSION
We help ambitious founders unlock public funding that powers breakthrough innovation. Government capital should accelerate your roadmap—not slow it down. We make that practical for Seed–Series A teams.
How we work
Portfolio, not one‑offs
We map multiple opportunities across agencies and pursue them in parallel. It’s how we compress time‑to‑funding and maintain momentum.
Operators meet reviewers
Our team blends former program staff, technical strategists, and post‑award finance experts. We know what reviewers expect and what your board needs to see.
Who we serve
Seed to early Series A technology companies in deep‑tech, healthtech, or software/AI. We frequently align U.S. programs like NSF, NIH, and DoD with Canadian IRAP and SR&ED.
