Question 1

What is GrantLaunch AI?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch AI is an autonomous AI-powered platform for winning government contracts and grants. It handles the complete lifecycle — from discovering RFPs and grants across 7 federal databases, to managing captures with bid/no-bid analysis, writing compliant proposals, reviewing them through simulated color team evaluations, and tracking post-award contracts. It serves both government contractors (RFPs, BAAs, SBIR) and academic researchers (NIH, NSF, DOE grants).

Question 2

Can GrantLaunch help with government RFP responses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrantLaunch AI provides full capture management for government RFP responses. Upload an RFP and the AI extracts requirements into a compliance matrix, generates win themes, builds pricing models with competitive labor rates, and writes each proposal section mapped to solicitation requirements. The platform tracks your response through every stage from capture to submission.

Question 3

Does GrantLaunch work for DoD and defense contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrantLaunch AI monitors DoD-specific sources including the DOD SBIR portal, SAM.gov, and the Federal Register for BAAs, RFPs, SBIR/STTR topics, and solicitations from defense and intelligence agencies. The platform understands DoD proposal formats, DFARS compliance requirements, and generates proposals tailored to defense contract evaluation criteria.

Question 4

How does the bid/no-bid analysis work?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch AI scores every opportunity against 8 weighted criteria: technical fit, past performance relevance, competitive position, customer relationship, contract vehicle access, teaming availability, price competitiveness, and strategic alignment. Each criterion receives a quantitative score, and the AI generates an overall win probability with a recommendation to pursue or pass.

Question 5

What is capture management in GrantLaunch?

Accepted Answer

Capture management in GrantLaunch is a kanban-style pipeline that tracks government contract opportunities through stages: Identified, Qualified, Capture, Proposal, Submitted, Won, and Lost. Each capture includes AI-powered bid/no-bid analysis scoring 8 criteria, win theme generation, compliance matrix extraction from RFPs, pricing intelligence with labor rate benchmarks, and win probability scoring.

Question 6

How does GrantLaunch AI find grants and RFPs?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch scans 7 federal databases every week: Grants.gov, NIH RePORTER, NSF Awards, SBIR.gov, Federal Register, SAM.gov, and private foundations via IRS 990 data. It uses AI-powered semantic matching to score each opportunity against your organization's profile, capabilities, and past performance, then ranks them by fit.

Question 7

How is GrantLaunch different from Instrumentl or GovDash?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch is the only platform that combines grant discovery, AI proposal writing, GovCon capture management, and post-award tracking in one system — for both government contractors and academic researchers. Instrumentl focuses on nonprofits and grant tracking. GovDash focuses on government contractors. GrantLaunch serves both markets with 84 features including autonomous weekly proposal generation, color team reviews, pricing intelligence, and institutional learning from debriefs.

Question 8

What is the autonomous pipeline in GrantLaunch?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch runs a fully autonomous weekly cycle: Sunday it syncs fresh RFPs and grants from federal databases. Monday it scores and matches them to your profile. Tuesday it generates proposals for approved matches. Wednesday it sends you a review email. Friday it submits approved proposals. The entire process runs without manual intervention.

Question 9

Does GrantLaunch support SBIR and STTR proposals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrantLaunch pulls SBIR and STTR solicitations from SBIR.gov and Grants.gov, scores them against your company's technology and capabilities, and generates compliant proposals with agency-specific templates for DoD, NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, and other agencies.

Question 10

Can GrantLaunch help with NIH and NSF grant proposals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrantLaunch's academic mode is designed specifically for NIH and NSF proposals. It generates biosketches, manages citations, uses career-stage matching (R01, R21, CAREER, K awards), and generates proposals using NIH and NSF-specific templates.

Question 11

How much does GrantLaunch cost?

Accepted Answer

GrantLaunch is currently offering a free 6-month pilot program with full platform access. After the pilot, pricing will be announced based on usage data and customer feedback. There is no credit card required to join the pilot.
