Grantify Secures Significant Growth Investment to Continue Fueling Startup Innovation
This strategic partnership with Farview Equity Partners marks a pivotal moment in Grantify's mission to unlock £1B in untapped innovation capital for startups globally.
We believe groundbreaking ideas shouldn't be held back by the complexities of funding.
Today, we're excited to announce a significant growth investment from Farview Equity Partners that will amplify our mission to democratise access to non-dilutive funding for innovative companies across the UK, US and beyond.
Our journey began when founders Luke and Mat secured a life-changing six-figure grant for their startup. The process took a year from start to finish, sparking a realisation: there had to be a better way. They simply wanted someone to tell them exactly what to write and how many words to use. As a bootstrapped business, Grantify's first product was a simple PDF guide, which evolved into a technology platform the following year. After years of significant development and iteration, it has now become a cutting-edge AI platform with human experts ensuring exceptional customer service.
Now, just a few years later, Grantify has helped secure over $175M in non-dilutive funding for hundreds of visionary startups. This rapid growth recently earned us a spot on The Sunday Times Hundred 2024 list of Britain's fastest-growing private companies.
Our success stems from a unique combination of human expertise and advanced AI technology, transforming the grant application process into a streamlined, accessible experience for innovators of all backgrounds.
And this is just the beginning. Grantify is developing the next iteration of its AI platform, set for release in 2025. This upgrade will enable applications for any grant funding opportunity across the thousands available.
Farview Equity Partners, led by seasoned tech investors John Rosenberg and Guy Sochovsky, has recognised the transformative potential of Grantify's approach. This significant investment will catalyse our growth and enhance our ability to support innovative companies.
Farview are specialist enterprise technology investors with an exceptional track record supporting portfolio companies like Unily, Exclaimer, Amplience and Evora to overcome scaling challenges and deliver long-term, capital efficient growth. Additionally, this partnership provides Grantify with access to Farview's Strategic Advisory Team, which includes operating executives from leading tech companies such as Slack, Dunnhumby, Avaya, King.com, Salesforce, HomeAway and Tableau.
This investment will enable us to:
1. Enhance Our AI Capabilities: We're investing heavily in our AI technology to make grant discovery and applications even more efficient and effective. Our AI grant finder, currently in beta testing, uses business profiles to search across thousands of grants worth over £35B in the UK and US. Soon, Grantify will be assisting with thousands of different grants for thousands of startups annually, dramatically expanding our impact.
2. Accelerate US Expansion: We've achieved significant success supporting innovative companies in the UK, and our goal is to have a similar impact on the startup ecosystem in the US. With over $32B in grant funding available annually through federal programs like SBIR and countless state and regional funds, we're poised to help many more American innovators access this crucial non-dilutive capital. Our expansion will enable us to support a diverse range of US startups, from coast to coast, in navigating and securing these valuable funding opportunities.
3. Deepen Our Impact: We're committed to reaching innovative companies that have traditionally been underserved by the grant funding ecosystem, including those outside of university networks or major tech hubs.
We're not just simplifying applications; we're reshaping how innovative companies access crucial funding. By increasing awareness and success rates, we ensure that transformative ideas from diverse sectors and regions have the opportunity to flourish.
As we enter this new phase of growth, we invite all innovators to join us on this journey. Whether you're developing next-generation tech, sustainable solutions, or concepts we've yet to imagine, Grantify is here to help you secure the funding needed to bring your ideas to life.
With our AI-powered platform, human expertise, and now the backing of Farview Equity Partners, we're better equipped than ever to support the next wave of world-changing innovations.
The landscape of grant funding is constantly evolving, and Grantify is at the forefront of this transformation. Together, we're building a future where great ideas have the support they need to become reality.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments from Grantify. We're just getting started!
