Discover More, Decide Better with GrantsScope

At GrantsScope, we’re pioneering the intersection of data science and AI to empower donors in the web3 public goods funding (PGF). Our mission? To revolutionize how donors identify and support grantees during PGF rounds.

The Challenge: In large PGF rounds, where hundreds of grantees vie for attention, the brightest spotlight often falls on those with the strongest marketing. This imbalance creates a cycle where deserving projects may go unnoticed, leading to an uneven distribution of resources and opportunities.

The Impact: This disparity not only places additional burdens on grantees to amplify their visibility but also diverts their focus from creating meaningful impact. As a result, the true potential of PGF is left untapped, and innovation in public goods is stifled.

Our Solution: GrantsScope
We believe in leveling the playing field. GrantsScope harnesses the power of data analytics, machine learning, and advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance project visibility and democratize access to funding. Our experiments are designed to:

  • Provide personalized recommendations, helping donors navigate the complexity of PGF rounds with ease.
  • Offer self-discovery tools that empower donors to explore and connect with projects that resonate with their values.
  • Reduce information asymmetry, ensuring donors have a comprehensive understanding of the PGF landscape.
