I work at a small non-profit R&D Lab and Open Grants was an absolute LIFESAVER during a recent grant pursuit. Long story short, we decided to pursue a federal grant for the first time (at the final hour of submission) and we were completely out of our element. The Open Grants team graciously offered us a quick & effective crash course in the labyrinth that is applying for a federal grant and did so in a way that was incredibly accessible to us as first timers. I genuinely don't think we would have been able to make the deadline in time without Open Grants' support! We highly recommend the expertise of Sedale and the team, and we are so thankful for their support!

It is always a challenge to search multiple databases and government sites.
I am now moving back into an academic setting and looking for grants to deal with substance use disorder (SUD) and am finding options that do not show up an any other platforms.
I have not yet applied for any grants as yet but finding options in seconds instead of hours is a huge bonus.

I serve as a CEO or as strategy and finance executive leadership, particularly when transaction(s) are key or a new venture does not yet fit into existing enterprise structures including talent integration, repositioning and outplacement, particularly in complex matrixed environments. OpenGrants identifies funding opportunities that may not be obvious. As an executive who has written grants, I don’t always have the time or want to burn capital on searches. I’ve found the search features easy to use and results to be high quality. The best attribute is the simple, aesthetic user experience. There’s little noise on the homepage- direct, clear and effective. I’d be really excited for early-stage support. The sluggish seed is a heavy lift and expedited supported systems raise chances for survival.

Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State
I have seen the impact OpenGrants has made in our entrepreneurial ecosystem by providing an accessible way for early-stage startups to access capital. The OpenGrants platform has been vital to making innovation and entrepreneurship accessible and approachable in the Sacramento region and beyond. This is why we have shared OpenGrants as a resource as it is directly in line with our mission. We look forward to seeing the many entrepreneurial successes that come from this accessibility.

Opengrants has truly revolutionized the opaque world of government grant funding. There is so capital on offer for those who know where to look - Sedale and his team have made the process incredibly straightforward. For startups in my network looking for non dilutive sources of funding, I send them the way of Opengrants.

Can you imagine all the grants and *free* government money you could get all in one place??? I can't tell you how many months I've spent over YEARS trying to figure out this landscape. The idea that it's just in one place? And that they can even help me fill it out? Unbelievable! How exciting. This could be make or break for start-ups, especially this year!

I got to meet and work with Sedale in the context of applying to various grants for We Grow Green Tech and the green tech/climate tech we partner with. Very quickly, I became impressed by how much dedication and care he shows in helping people navigating such a daunting process We worked together for RainIons and were successfully able to apply within an exceptional time frame. Very grateful for the opportunity to work together and take advantage of OpenGrants platform Bravo Sedale !

After having worked on grant platforms in the past, this tool is incredibly intuitive and the team at OpenGrants did an amazing job. Small businesses and entrepreneurs need access to capital now more than ever and it's all IN ONE PLACE! Nice job all!

Sero loves OpenGrants!
We had been working with a consultancy that promised to find and apply for all kinds of government funding on our behalf. When that company bailed at the last moment, we thought we were out of luck.
On a whim, we gave OpenGrants a shot. Within days, not only had we found opportunities we were perfect for — we found talented, enthusiastic, and affordable grant writing partners to work with. OpenGrants made searching for grants simple and gave us personalized recommendations for grant writers.
We just received approval from the DoD for our first pre-proposal, so we'll be back to OpenGrants for sure.

Awesome product. Given the current climate, any form of non-dilutive capital is a huge resource. Searching for grants sucks. It's boring, requires a lot of time and very tedious. Opengrants takes care of the boring stuff for you (sorry Opengrants team members), but we love you for it :). I've personally used this product and highly recommend it.

Sedale and team crushed it with OpenGrants. This platform is much needed, and I think even more relevant given the changing nature of business during the pandemic. Highly recommend!
