Grant
Goblin.

Funding that fits,
found for you.

A little goblin explorer to make finding and applying for funding feel like something you can actually finish.

Meet Grant. A small helper for a very big pile of admin.

Why I am building it

The hard part is
getting started.

Funding is out there. Finding the right opportunities, reading the rules and getting an application over the line can become a job of its own.

I make tiresome tasks a little more joyful, and look for the dopamine hit hiding in the boring bits. Grant Goblin brings that approach to funding: a friendly helper, one obvious next step, and a small celebration for doing the work.

It follows the same thread as Nomad Pro and Tidewick. Less reliance on willpower. More reasons to come back tomorrow.

Inside the prototype

One next step.
The rest can wait.

The app turns a mountain of funding admin into a daily rhythm: choose a find, check the draft, finish a small job, then celebrate.

Radar. Swipe to explore, skip or save. Every find shows why it fits and links to its source.

How it is designed to help

Calm first.
Then delight.

01

Find what fits

Start with what you are building or making, where you are based and what you need. The planned daily Radar brings back relevant opportunities with reasons, deadlines and sources.

02

Make the work smaller

Grant is designed to read the rules and draft from facts you have confirmed, using your own AI. The remaining work becomes quick jobs, with scripts and a teleprompter when you need a video.

03

Reward the effort

Gold coins, badges and a happy dance mark progress. The reward is for taking the next step and pressing send, so the habit does not depend on winning funding.

The promise

Grant drafts.
You stay in charge.

No invented traction, numbers or dates. You review every answer and submit on the programme’s own site. Grant never submits for you or promises funding.
