The Future of Grant Seeking is Agentic
The Future of Grant Seeking
is Agentic
Grantx introduces the first AI Grant Agent, designed to actively work for users, transforming the grant process into an automated and intelligent workflow:
Context-Aware Grant Matching: Using user and project profiles, Grantx dynamically searches and matches opportunities with NOFOs (Notices of Funding Opportunity) and funder data from its extensive database, delivering hyper-relevant results in minutes.
Iterative AI Co-Pilot: The Co-Pilot collaborates with users, asking clarifying questions and iteratively refining applications based on project context to draft tailored, compelling submissions.
Agent-Driven Automation: Beyond search and writing, Grantx automates repetitive tasks like organizing documents, tracking deadlines, and integrating insights from past applications for smarter workflows.
Result: Unlike static tools, Grantx’s AI Agents actively handle the heavy lifting, reducing the grant-seeking process from 6–8 weeks to 4–6 days. Users can now focus on their mission while achieving 9x more applications and significantly higher success rates.

$400k ARR Contract to Serve 300 Nonprofits
Grant Ready Kentucky (GRK) is a consulting firm that was contracted by the government to help communities in Kentucky access over $3 trillion grant distribution projected over the next 5 years. GRK is partnering with Grantx to use our platform as the core component of this project, connecting us with 300 non-profits to help them find, apply for, and win grants.
Initially, this partnership will focus on adding a small set of additional features to meet the specific needs of the program. Once this design partnership concludes in March, the engagement will shift to a ~$400k ARR opportunity, allowing us to access the $200M that GRK has been given to cover various costs, including our subscription fees.
This collaboration empowers non-profits to secure critical funding while demonstrating Grantx’s transformative capabilities in real-world applications. Upon successful completion of this project, there is expressed interest to expand to a national scope.

Why Grantx?
The grant funding process is broken:
Massive Opportunity: Over $1 trillion in grant funding is available annually, yet $5 billion remains unawarded due to inefficiencies and lack of access.
Complexity and Inefficiency: Takes 6–8 weeks per application, with only a 10% success rate.
Limited Resources: 74% of organizations have fewer than two staff managing grant tasks.
Market Dissatisfaction: Despite spending $450/month on existing tools, 63% of professionals are unhappy with the results.
Grantx solves these problems with an AI-powered platform built on Gemini that reduces the grant application process to 4–6 days, improves outcomes, and enhances efficiency. Our cutting-edge solution is backed by early user success stories, including a 15-minute grant discovery and submission workflow - a process that traditionally requires 1-2 weeks.
