GRI — Grant Readiness Index for Startups
An independent expert assessment of grant readiness (Grant Readiness Index, GRI) that checks eligibility and fit with grant programs, strength of team and partnerships, budget quality and work plan — and shows what to improve to win grants faster
What you get
- GRI readiness level (probability and capability to obtain a grant)
- Recommended grant directions/programs with a brief alignment map
- Identification of gaps and missing or underdeveloped information
- Risk map with recommendations for diversification
- Assessment of the team, roadmap, and business plan

How we assess (GRI structure)
