Grant Writing —
non-dilutive funding,
written by AI.
We find and write the grants. You focus on the business. NSF SBIR, foundation grants, and Texas state funding — researched, drafted, and submitted by AI agents with human review before anything ships.
Grants are the most expensive free money there is — if you write your own. Our AI grant-writing agent, Bucks, does the research, drafting, and compliance. You get non-dilutive capital without the 200-hour time tax on your team.
Grant Readiness Audit — $497
Not sure which grants you qualify for, or whether you're ready to apply? We audit your business, match you to 5–10 realistic funders, score your readiness, and hand you a prioritized roadmap. The fee is credited in full toward your first Starter or Standard engagement — so serious applicants lose nothing, and the entry cost filters the tire-kickers.

We specialize in three funding corridors that small businesses and Texas-based organizations can actually win. Our AI agent continuously monitors deadlines, eligibility changes, and new opportunities across every lane.
From audit to submission in phases
Discovery & Funder Research
We learn your business, collect documents (business plan, financials, bios), and identify 5–15 funders matched to your industry, geography, and ask amount. A funder-fit memo and grant calendar set the roadmap.
Proposal Development
Bucks drafts the full narrative — problem statement, methodology, evaluation plan, budget — and assembles supporting documents. Every data point is verified for accuracy.
Human Review & Submission
Travone reviews every proposal for content accuracy, compliance, and funder alignment. Client reviews and approves. We submit via portal or email and log the confirmation. If funded, we draft post-award compliance reports.

Grant writing, de-risked
What is a Grant Readiness Audit?
It's a paid diagnostic ($497) that evaluates your business against 6 readiness dimensions and matches you to 5–10 realistic funders. You get a score, a shortlist, and a prioritized action plan. The fee is credited in full toward your first Starter ($2,500) or Standard ($6,500) engagement, so it's effectively free if you proceed.
Do you guarantee funding?
No reputable grant writer guarantees funding — funders decide based on competition, budget cycles, and program fit. What we guarantee is a competitive, compliant, funder-aligned proposal submitted on time. Our job is to maximize your odds; we don't promise outcomes we can't control.
What grants do you write?
We specialize in three lanes: (1) Federal — NSF SBIR/STTR (up to $275K Phase I), NIH, DOE, and other agency R&D grants through America's Seed Fund. (2) Foundation — private and corporate foundations funding AI, workforce development, small business, and community impact. (3) Texas State/Local — Texas CMBL/HUB set-asides, DIR cooperative contracts, Houston-area development grants, and county-level opportunities.
What's the timeline?
A Grant Readiness Audit delivers in 5 business days. Starter grants turn around in 14–21 days, Standard in 28–45 days, and a Premium Sprint in 45–60 days. Rush delivery (less than 10 business days) is available at +30%.
Do you work with nonprofits?
Yes — our process works for 501(c)(3) organizations seeking foundation, corporate, and government grants. We collect 990s in addition to financials and adjust the narrative for charitable vs. commercial framing.
What is a Grant Retainer?
For organizations applying for grants continuously, the retainer ($3,500/mo) covers ongoing research, proposal drafting, and post-award reporting — 3 proposals per quarter with priority turnaround. It's the best value for organizations that want a steady pipeline of submissions.
How are proposals reviewed?
Every proposal passes through a triple review: (1) Internal QA for content accuracy, compliance, and funder alignment. (2) Client review — you read and approve before submission. (3) Final compliance check against funder guidelines (page limits, fonts, margins, required sections). Nothing ships without human sign-off.
