Grant Compass is built by experienced grant writers from Dealflow's grant team. We are experts in writing grant applications for startups, SMEs and corporates, from single-company proposals to international consortia. We've built that expertise into the platform, so every match reflects real grant-writing experience, not just generic data.
Every engagement starts with an honest assessment. We help you understand how strong your case is before you invest time and resources in an application. As our collaboration begins, we take on the majority of the workload. We lead the writing, prepare you for every aspect of the process, manage everything through to submission and follow-up, and bring you in where your input matters most: your technology, your market and your team.
You keep running your company. We build the application with you. About Dealflow ↗
