“Hi—I’m we are Team Misty from FindMeGrant.com. Think of us as Perplexity for funding. In the same time it takes you to say ‘grant writing is painful,’ our agent ingests your project brief, scours 40 000+ public- and private-sector programs worldwide, and returns a ranked short-list you actually qualify for—complete with AI-generated fit scores, deadline alerts, and a draft proposal outline. No more twenty-tab rabbit holes, no pricey consultants, just laser-focused funding in minutes. We launched two weeks ago and early users have already identified $4.1 million in new capital they’d otherwise never see. Imagine what happens when Perplexity’s real-time knowledge engine powers our next release.”
Why We Win This Hackathon Technological implementation: We have plugged Perplexity's Sonar Pro API with advanced RAG-style semantic filtering, real-time data processing, and comprehensive error handling, deployed as a production-ready serverless Next.js 15 application with TypeScript, Prisma ORM, Clerk authentication, and drag-and-drop Kanban functionality—hitting every criterion in the Technological Implementation rubric while demonstrating production-grade code quality, scalability, and user experience design.
Design & UX: A friction-free, single-input interface replaces 15-step government portals, meeting the Design bar for clarity and polish.
Potential impact: 3.7 million nonprofits and 33 million small businesses in North America alone report funding as their #1 pain point; even a 5 % lift in successful applications translates to billions unlocked for communities.
We’re live at FindMeGrant.com—but with Perplexity’s firepower and the hackathon’s $35 K prize pool, we’ll graduate from smart search to a full AI co-pilot that drafts budgets, auto-fills portals, and learns from reviewer feedback in real time. Join us in turning grant discovery from a scavenger hunt into a single answer.
