Worldwide grants, without the bureaucracy
GrantChain is a free worldwide grants discovery platform built for the founders, developers, and innovators who shouldn't need a $5,000 consultant to find funding.
Why this exists
Governments and foundations distribute over $100 billion in tech grants every year — across the EU, US, UK, Singapore, Canada, UAE, and global Web3 ecosystems. Most of it never reaches the people who could use it best.
The reasons are simple. Government portals are slow and hard to navigate. Grant consultants charge $2,000–$5,000 just to tell you which programs to apply for. Founders waste weeks comparing eligibility criteria across dozens of fragmented websites. By the time they figure it out, deadlines have passed.
GrantChain fixes that. One clean directory across 11 regions. Free matching tool. AI-assisted application drafts. Plain-language eligibility criteria. No consultants required.
