Company
Instrumentl
Automates grant discovery and management
We have built a SaaS platform that helps nonprofits and social enterprises find, track, and manage their grant opportunities. It automates the tedious parts of grant research and keeps users organized and on top of deadlines so they can focus on creating impact rather than paperwork.
We live and are based in San Francisco, CA, with a remote team distributed elsewhere. We would continue to base the company here after YC.
San Francisco is where the team started and where the nonprofit software market is active. It also lets us stay close to potential investors and partners, and we have good access to talent.
