What startup founders say

Founders across all stages share their experience with GrantGunner.

As a founder building CareO for care homes across Northern Ireland, finding the right grants and innovation programmes used to mean endless tab-hopping and guesswork on eligibility. GrantGunner changed that — Scout surfaces schemes I would have missed, and knowing whether we qualify before we draft saves weeks our small team cannot spare. For HealthTech founders who need a real funding pipeline without hiring a dedicated bid writer, it is genuinely essential.

Abi George

CEO & Co-founder, CareO

GrantGunner has been a genuine game-changer for how I discover funding opportunities for clients and my own work at Olympus Lab. It surfaces relevant grants and programmes I would have completely missed, with eligibility and deadlines laid out so clearly you can decide in minutes instead of hours. For founders and agencies juggling growth, visibility, and capital, it is clear, actionable, and backed by real structure — I recommend it without hesitation.

Founder & GEO Consultant, Olympus Lab

We built GrantGunner after too many late nights combing funders' sites and still missing deadlines. Using it day to day, Scout surfaces grants and programmes I would have overlooked, and seeing eligibility spelled out before you draft stops the team chasing dead ends. For founders and charities who need a real funding pipeline without a full-time bid writer, it is exactly the workflow we wished existed years ago.
