GrantForge AI

GrantForge AI turns the complex NSF SBIR/STTR grant process into a guided, AI-powered workflow: Describe → Discover → Analyze → Draft → Review. Founders can describe their project by text or voice and receive ranked NSF solicitation matches scored 0–100, with plain-English explanations of why each opportunity fits. GrantForge then extracts evaluation criteria from dense solicitation documents into a structured, actionable rubric so founders know exactly what reviewers are looking for. The platform generates an editable technical narrative, milestone timeline, and budget, then performs a compliance review by scoring the proposal against each evaluation criterion from 1–5 and identifying specific weak spots. Founders can revise and re-score their proposal until it is submission-ready. GrantForge AI includes four core modules: Grant Discovery, Rubric Analyzer, Proposal Authoring, and Compliance Review. The product is fully functional end-to-end, including authentication, persistent user workspaces, live NSF data, AI-powered analysis, and PDF case-file export. Our demo follows a deep-tech founder developing a low-power AI chip for medical devices. Instead of spending weeks searching NSF documents and guessing what reviewers want, the founder can move from an initial idea to matched opportunities, an extracted rubric, a generated proposal draft, and a compliance scorecard in roughly 10 minutes. GrantForge AI targets the $200M+ annual NSF SBIR/STTR funding pool, with future plans to expand to DOE, NIH, and DOD funding opportunities. GrantForge AI helps founders spend less time navigating grants and more time building the technologies they are trying to fund.
