Angela here, one of the cofounders of Instrumentl. We'd love to hear your feedback about what we're building to bring efficiency & transparency to research funding. Have a grant horror story? Let's hear it!
How will Instrumentl generate revenue? Taking the person from Italy that found a grant through you, what did that mean for Instrumentl in terms of income and how?
Our customers pay us ~$30 per seat per month just like other saas models. Customers range from individual researchers to entire research organizations. Couple strategies for user acquisition: SEO, direct sales to universities, content marketing. Thanks for the Qs!
A killer feature, if you don't already have it, is to have researchers answer a set of questions then leverage their answers to apply for many grants at once or pre-populate 70% of an application.
We've been working on the other side of this problem, improving how research labs track and spend their funding effectively.

this way i can't avoid the feeling that you work against freedom of information.
