For your workRuns on demand
Funder Finder
A ranked, tiered list of investors, foundations, donors or sponsors who fund work like yours, with recent comparable deals, typical sizes, contacts and fit.
Built for founders, nonprofit leaders and creators building a list of funders to approach.
01
Why this work is hard
The problem
Founders, nonprofit leaders and creators building a list of funders to approach spend hours on this by hand: finding the right sources, reading them, checking them against each other and writing up what matters. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and nobody can show where a claim came from.
The GREP AI agent
Funder Finder does that work as a GREP AI agent. It runs when you ask, and you can put it on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. Every run delivers a spreadsheet, with every claim linked to its source.
