OUR TEAM 

opengrants is led by a team of GovTech veterans with a passion for solving tough problems in the public sector. As founders, we understand the struggles faced by startups seeking capital. We developed opengrants.io to empower founders

WHY PUBLIC FUNDS?

The government invests billions annually into a funding ecosystem that is fundamentally flawed. A variety of systematic barriers exclude founders from across the nation. We remove those barriers to access and open billions of dollars in opportunities to our users.
