Awesome event, Adverb Ventures!! It was great meeting other amazing founders in NYC ✨
This week, Adverb Ventures hosted a founder dinner with our friends at Stellation Capital. Convening with founders in their earliest stages is so fun and rewarding. The following evening we hosted founders, builders, and investors from our community for a spring happy hour - and it was a treat to see so many familiar faces and many new folks too. This week we also committed to our 13th investment since launching Fund 1 last summer during this second-annual jam-packed week in NYC in May. This year was extra special, as we got to spend time with our 3 portfolio companies based in NYC, and 2 more portfolio founders who happened to be here! NYC is turning out to be an important hub for us which is no surprise given the incredible founder and startup community here, and our own amazing colleague Liza Gurtin who is based here! If we didn’t see you this time, please sign up for email updates from us (https://lnkd.in/gfB584Mi) so we can add you to our list for future NYC events. As a reminder, we (Adverb Ventures) invest in founders aspiring to build massive businesses from preseed to Series A. Our growing portfolio includes B2B, consumer, fintech, and frontier bets - and we are just getting started!

Our founders, Felicia Chen and Jennifer Jang, had a great time at #MIT on Wednesday where we shared our methodology on how to win more grant funding. It was great connecting with so many grad students, post-docs, and other researchers & we're excited to help them so they can focus on continuing R&D 💪 A huge thank you to the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship for hosting the event and inviting us, especially: Doug Williams, Andy Acevedo, and Amrutha Killada for making this happen ❤️

Welcome GrantScout to the Adverb portfolio! Excited to connect with Felicia Chen and Jennifer Jang as the help make funding more accessible.
Helping founders access capital is a mission near and dear to us as investors — but beyond venture capital, there is a massive source of non-dilutive capital many business owners overlook: the US Government. Felicia Chen and Jennifer Jang, co-founders of GrantScout, have set out to make it easier than ever to find, apply for, and win government grant funding. We’re delighted to announce we’ve co-led their seed round and are partnering with them on this mission. At Adverb, we back extraordinary founders in the earliest stages of building breakout companies. We met Felicia and Jennifer in the Fall 2023 HF0 incubator batch, a program where repeat founders live together in SF for an intensive period of early company development. Their combined experience at companies like Waymo, Anduril, and Apple and the company’s early traction with grant applicants stood out to us. Typically, applying for a government grant is tedious and time consuming. It can take hundreds of hours and even require hiring a specialized grant writer to complete the cumbersome government driven process. Grantscout leverages AI to simplify this. With a basic description of a company, their AI powered search engine can identify specific grants which may be applicable for a given company. And with additional company information, their fine tuned LLM can draft the application while still leveraging the expert final review of an in-house grant writer. GrantScout is starting with a focus on Small Business Innovation Grants (SBIRs) — a source of $3.5B awarded annually and ultimately aims to tackle the much larger government grant and contracting opportunity. GrantScout is already being used by customers building innovative products in healthcare, defense, climate, robotics, etc from early stage to growth stage. And 95% of early customers have already come back for a second grant application. Check it out yourself to see if your team might scout a match! https://lnkd.in/gBJkRrKM

Did you know that just registering for the government portal (sam.gov) can take over 48 hours? And after that, you still have to register to apply for SBIR/STTRs?! It's one of the biggest pain points for first time applicants, so if you're new to gov funding: check out our step-by-step guide on how to get registered: https://lnkd.in/guirQwap
