How it works

From challenge to collaboration

A simple workflow that connects industry questions with university expertise — plus a live feed of federal funding.

  1. Step 1

    Researchers claim their profile

    Sign in with your campus email. Your campus is auto-detected. Add expertise, equipment, and interests so you can be matched with the right challenges and funding.

  2. Step 2

    Industry partners post a challenge

    Submit a challenge, expertise request, or investigator-initiated proposal in under five minutes. Completely free for industry.

  3. Step 3

    Discipline-based matching

    Disciplines + tags route challenges to the right researchers automatically — no manual searching required.

  4. Step 4

    Submit and award proposals

    Researchers submit short-form or full proposals. Industry reviews, asks questions, and selects the strongest fit.

  5. Step 5

    Track federal funding

    We import live federal RFPs from Grants.gov, NIH, and NSF daily — tagged by topic and searchable so you never miss a deadline.
