The grant finder that writes and wins your funding.
Win the grants and funding you are missing, without giving up equity or losing months to admin. Ailsa finds what you qualify for, writes the applications and wins them for you.
See the funding you qualify for
Takes 2 minutes. We map the live funding you qualify for before we even speak.
Trusted by innovators in deep tech, med tech and climate
Funding won, not just found.
Real results from real client applications. The grant funding opportunities we have found, written and helped secure.
Funding should not be a full-time job
The money is out there. Finding it, qualifying for it and winning it is where innovators lose months. Ailsa does all three for you.
You miss what you cannot see
Hundreds of grants, accelerators and competitions open every quarter. Most never reach the people they were built for.
Applications eat your time
Every submission is days of writing and evidence. Time you need for the product, the team and the customers.
Generic databases bury you
Search tools hand you a thousand irrelevant results and no guidance on what you can actually win.
Inside your funding engine
The workspace your dedicated team runs every day to discover, prioritise and win funding for you.
Every opportunity, surfaced
Our AI grant finder scans thousands of sources around the clock and surfaces the grant funding opportunities that fit your mission, stage and priorities.
- Grants, loans, accelerators and competitions
- Matched to your sector and stage
- New opportunities surfaced every week
Only the ones you can win
Every match is scored on fit and effort, then planned into a live pipeline with deadlines, owners and a clear order of play.
- Fit and winnability scored for you
- Deadlines and owners mapped out
- A live funding pipeline, always current
Written, submitted, won
Our team writes each application, packages the evidence and submits it on time. Expert business grant writers backed by grant application software, not a DIY tool.
- Drafts written and evidence packaged
- Submitted and managed end to end
- Some accepted at first draft, no edits

Frequently asked questions
Funding you do not give up equity for. Grants, innovation loans, accelerators, competitions and R&D credits. You keep ownership of your company and still get the capital to grow.
No one can promise a grant. What we can promise is that you only spend time on opportunities you can realistically win, with the full weight of our team behind each application. Our clients have secured wins at first draft.
Far less than hiring a dedicated grant writer or funding lead. A fraction of the cost of a single hire, with no recruitment, onboarding or overheads. We will walk you through the right level of support on your call.
The full non-dilutive mix. Grants from Innovate UK, NIHR, UKRI and Horizon Europe, plus accelerators, innovation loans, R&D support, competitions and speaking opportunities.
Founders of innovation-led companies in deep tech, med tech, agri tech, climate tech, bio tech and defence. From funding opportunities for startups to enterprise R&D, we cover the same non-dilutive mix for product and finance leaders in larger organisations and charities too.
Most clients have their first matched opportunities within days of the kickoff call. Book a call and we will map a few live opportunities for you before we even speak.
Both, and more. Ailsa is an AI grant finder and funding finder tool, plus grant application software. But unlike a basic grant tool or business grant finder, you also get human grant writers who write and submit the applications for you. You are not left with a list to action yourself.
