I hacked this together last week; it’s still very experimental. The goal is simple: help founders prioritize outreach by surfacing investors who’ve recently raised funds (i.e., have capital to deploy). Right now we diff recent EDGAR/Form D filings and public announcements, normalize to a Postgres schema (fund → check size, stage, sector, geo, contacts), and do light entity resolution for aliases/shells. Expect gaps and false positives while we iterate.

Grants: today we’re only pulling federal sources (SBIR/STTR, Grants.gov). The roadmap is to add state, county, and municipal portals, plus agency- and foundation-specific programs—basically anything a startup can actually apply for.

Also included: accelerators/venture builders (terms, equity, timelines) and a “founder freebies” section (~$4.5M in credits/tools many teams miss).

We've kept it simple: no login wall, no upsell, no paid introductions. This is a working prototype we plan to keep improving.
