Profile-driven opportunity discovery
Selected Work / 02
Grant Router
A grant-discovery and application-readiness product that helps people find relevant opportunities, understand fit, save what matters, and organize what comes next.
01 / Problem
Turn fragmented grant research into a usable decision flow.
Funding opportunities are scattered across public sources, often written in dense language and difficult to compare against a real applicant profile.
The product challenge was to reduce that research burden without hiding eligibility uncertainty or turning a nuanced fit decision into a misleading score.
02 / What I Built
A guided router from profile to opportunity.
Grant Router combines a short applicant questionnaire, deterministic fit logic, saved opportunities, application organization, and an extensible discovery pipeline.
Plain-language fit and eligibility explanations
Saved opportunity workspace
Application organization and next-step tracking
Optional account-backed persistence
Notification-ready product architecture
03 / Product Decisions
Make fit understandable, not mysterious.
No fake precision
The product avoids opaque percentage-match scores and instead explains fit with deterministic rules and plain-language labels.
Support pre-incorporation users
The intake flow does not assume every applicant is already a formal company or nonprofit.
Preserve anonymous use
Core exploration can work without an account, while account-backed persistence is optional when it adds value.
Separate discovery from decision
Finding an opportunity and determining whether it is worth pursuing are treated as distinct product steps.
04 / What It Demonstrates
Product design for messy public-information workflows.
05 / Try the Demo
Go from applicant profile to a decision-ready shortlist.
The public demo is meant to show the routing, fit-explanation, saving, and workspace experience rather than claim that every grant source is already covered.
Complete the short applicant questionnaire using a realistic founder or organization profile.
Review routed opportunities and read the plain-language fit or eligibility explanation.
Save one or more opportunities and open the saved workspace.
Follow the application-readiness flow to see how the product organizes what comes next.
06 / Current Status
A working MVP with a live public demo.
The core applicant flow, saved workspace, and backend-backed persistence have been implemented and verified.
The public demo is now live. Broader launch work can continue separately without holding up portfolio review or product conversations.
