Help us build the AI grants platform.
And the revenue operating system that follows.
Nonprofits raise tens of billions in grants every year, and almost none of the tools were built for them. We're looking for three to five organizations to co-build Seedwork before public launch. You shape the product, you pay less, and you get more hands-on support than any later customer ever will.
The build partner relationship
A two-way relationship, not a sales pitch.
We're not asking you to be a beta tester. We're asking you to help shape what Seedwork becomes during the months when shaping is still possible. The terms are deliberately generous, because your feedback is the product.
Concierge onboarding
We seed your knowledge base with your best work and tune Seedwork to your voice. You're live in the first call.
A say in what ships
Monthly calls with the founding team, and your feedback goes straight into the sprint plan.
Real usage on real grants
Your team uses Seedwork on actual proposals and deadlines. The feedback that matters comes from real pressure, not a sandbox.
An IT and security contact
One person to own security and integrations, so Seedwork fits your environment, not the other way around.
Who and what
Three to five organizations. Specific criteria.
We're not trying to onboard everyone — quality of feedback matters more than quantity. The criteria on the left are what we need. The list on the right is what you get in return.
Who we're looking for
- 01A small or mid-sized nonprofit with grants making up 30%+ of revenue. Complex enough that Seedwork matters, small enough that you feel the pain directly.
- 02Three or more active grants running at once — ideally a mix of government, foundation, and corporate. A real pipeline to track.
- 03A dedicated grants or development person who will actually use the product. Feedback needs to come from the person writing proposals.
- 04Willingness to be direct. “It's fine” is useless. “The funder research missed half of their published priorities” is gold.
- 05One grant deadline in the next 60 days. Seedwork gets tested in real cycles, under real pressure. That's where the feedback that matters comes from.
What you get
- 01Free until launch. Full platform access at no cost while we build together.
- 02A founder rate, locked. At launch, a reduced rate that holds for as long as you're a customer and doesn't move up unless you add capacity.
- 03No limits. Unlimited seats and unlimited AI use through the build-partner period.
- 04A direct line to the founders. A private channel with Rohit, Sunindiya, and engineering. Fixes ship same- or next-day, not queued.
- 05Real influence over the roadmap. Your feedback sequences what ships next — strategy design, voice anchors, Canopy signals, Microsoft integration depth. Your priorities, not a backlog.
How it works
From conversation to live, in under two weeks.
Who you're building with
Brother and sister. Opposite sides of the same problem.
One has spent fifteen years building the systems underneath revenue. The other has run nonprofit programs for twenty. Same family, same problem seen from both sides.
15+ years fixing the systems and process underneath revenue growth, the same problem he's solving alongside nonprofits now. A senior strategy and operations leader across SAP, Optimizely, and Avalara, with experience implementing CRMs, connecting CRM and ERP systems, and rebuilding the processes in between.
EVP at a $30M+ nonprofit and Seedwork's live design partner. Twenty-plus years across the nonprofit, philanthropic, and government sectors leading fundraising and grantmaking, including United Way and the state of Massachusetts. The product gets tested on her actual grant pipeline before any other organization sees a feature.
Founding advisors across GTM and operations (Jeff Lee), product and customer (JD Casaletto), and technology (Dan Wesolowski). A small team is a deliberate choice for this phase, not a constraint to disguise — we expand carefully as the build-partner cohort grows.
The platform
One platform, the full lifecycle.
Most software covers one phase and bolts on the rest. Seedwork is end to end — funder discovery, drafting, submission, and post-award management, all grounded in your team's writing and your funder relationships. Here's the shape of it; the full product walkthrough lives on the homepage.

- Prospect research Soon
- Strategy alignment
- Drafting support
- Review & scoring
- Iteration tools

More than a chatbot
Purpose-built for grant work, not general-purpose.
A general-purpose AI tool produces general-purpose output. Seedwork is grounded in your archive, your voice, and the funder's actual rubric — the failures it fixes are voice drift, missing evidence, and writing that sounds like every other proposal.
- 01
Grounded in your archive
Pulls from your past grants and curated content library, not the internet. Every claim cites a source from your work.
- 02
Tuned to your voice
Sentence cadence, phrasing, the words your team actually uses. Voice preservation is the failure most AI tools ignore.
- 03
Scored against the rubric
Seedwork reads the RFP, builds the rubric, and scores each section before you submit. It catches gaps early.
- Description of the Need 5
- Project Goals 1
- Project Design
- Capabilities
Standard reentry services, even well-designed ones, are built for people who are ready to engage. The population this program serves is not yet ready, which is exactly why it needs a different approach.
The gap is not a gap in programs. It is a gap in relationships. Behavioral change among the highest-risk populations requires sustained, trusting relationships with consistent adults.
Where we are
Live today, and what's next.
The Grants module is live and mature — drafting, strategy, and scoring have all shipped, and Canopy funder intelligence is live too. Build partners get the full platform as it ships, with direct say over what gets prioritized. We're not pretending it's finished. You won't be waiting on us to figure out what to build; you'll be shaping it.

For your IT lead and your finance director
Real engineering. Not a wrapper around a model.
Architecture, multi-tenancy, identity providers, integrations, engineering discipline — and what we're not yet pretending to have. Written for IT review and investor diligence. Plain answers, including the parts we deliberately haven't shipped yet.
If it sounds like a fit, reach out.
We'll set up a 30-minute call and go from there, and we respond within 24 hours. If you're not sure your organization fits, write to us anyway — the criteria are a guide, not a gate.
