Expert grant consulting services

Non-dilutive funding refers to capital received that doesn’t require giving up equity.

It’s crucial for startups wanting to retain ownership while obtaining necessary funds for growth and development.

We specialize in non-dilutive federal funding, offering grant consulting and strategic grant writing services.

Our approach focuses on a science-based understanding of your technology and our Multi-Agency Submission Strategy to various agencies.

Technology startups and companies at any stage looking to secure federal grants and non-dilutive funding can benefit from our expertise.

Our approach to grant consulting is distinctively designed to maximize your chances of funding success. By combining a deep understanding of scientific and technological intricacies with a comprehensive Multi-Agency Submission Strategy, we ensure a broad and targeted reach for your application.

This method involves simultaneously targeting several suitable grants from various agencies, significantly boosting your startup’s funding opportunities.

By catering to the unique needs and goals of your technology, we aim to increase the likelihood of securing funding and achieving a higher success rate in the competitive grant landscape.

With hundreds of projects under our belt, we specialize in a broad range of industries, including Advanced Materials and Processes, Biotechnology, Environmental Remediation, Water Treatment, Renewable Energy, Artificial Intelligence, Computing, Human Resources, Engineering, Manufacturing (across various sectors), Cybersecurity, Energy Storage, Aviation, and Environmental Sustainability, among others.

We have extensive experience working with agencies and programs such as USDA, DOE, DOD, NIST, EPA, FAA, DIU, NASA, DHS, DEVCOM, NSF, AFWERX, Challenge.gov, American-Made Challenges, DOT, NCMS, NOAA, Horizon Europe, and Innovate UK, among others.

Initially, projects may require more input from the client until the consultant fully understands the technology.

As we become more familiar with your needs and goals, the process becomes more streamlined, with the consultant operating more independently.

We continuously present funding opportunities; once the client approves, we begin detailed work. The consultant prepares an initial draft followed by several iterations until the final version is perfected.

This collaborative approach ensures that the proposals accurately reflect your technology and objectives.

As part of our service, the consultant is available to manage the grant portals on behalf of the client.

This includes submission, follow-up, and any necessary communication with the agencies.

The extent of portal management depends on each client’s comfort and preference.

Some clients may prefer to maintain control over their portals, while others opt for a more hands-off approach, entrusting the entire process to us.

We’re flexible and aim to provide a service that best fits your operational style and needs.

Post-submission, we diligently track the progress of your application, keeping you informed and ready for any follow-ups or additional information requests until the results are announced.

We work with a flat fee per project, sized to the workload, combined with a success fee on each grant secured. You choose the balance: the higher the success-fee component, the lower the flat fee. That is how we split the risk between client and consultant. We’re open to other engagement structures as well, but never success-fee-only: every engagement includes a flat fee. Exact terms are agreed in our first meeting, before any work starts.

To begin, contact us to schedule a kickoff meeting where we’ll discuss your specific needs, our services, and how we can best support your funding goals.

Absolutely, we’d be delighted to conduct an initial assessment or consultation.

We have a passion for technology and always enjoy learning about new innovations.

During our exploratory meeting, we’ll dive into your unique technology and needs. Following our initial discussion, in our subsequent meeting, we will present a specific Opportunity Report detailing potential funding opportunities tailored to your technology and objectives.

This step ensures that we align well and helps lay the foundation for a fruitful and successful partnership.
