What customers have won

$6.5M

Four stories, with the funder named in each. We would rather show you a small number of specific outcomes than a wall of logos, and every funder here is named so you can check any of them.

The stories

  • $6,000 for intern hiring

    EnCor Industries

    Drone manufacturing, Tulsa, Oklahoma

    An aerospace internship award surfaced with a two-week window. EnCor applied in time and hired the help they needed to accelerate assembly.

    Funder
    Oklahoma Department of Aerospace & Aeronautics

    EnCor builds NDAA-compliant drone systems for public safety, energy and agriculture customers. Like most growing manufacturers they needed capacity without adding permanent headcount. The opportunity appeared with only two weeks left to submit, which is the kind of window that is usually missed rather than met. The company reported the application itself took about five minutes of work.

    The whole story

  • $5M

    Creative 3D Technologies

    Additive manufacturing, Austin, Texas

    A 3D printing manufacturer won $5M from a state semiconductor program, after finding it among several funders worth approaching that they had not known existed.

    Funder
    Texas Semiconductor Fund

    The proposal had to explain a technical manufacturing capability to a reviewer evaluating it against a state industrial strategy. Finding the fund at all was half the work: it sat alongside several foundations the company had not previously considered.

    The whole story

  • $1.2M in grant-funded contracts

    A US services company

    Services, United States

    Rather than applying for grants directly, this customer wrote their services into other organizations' proposals, and won work from 26 of them.

    Funder
    26 separate grant proposals

    This is the least obvious use of the product and one of the most interesting. The customer was not the applicant. They identified organizations applying for funding that would need what they provide, and became part of those budgets. Wes calls it the budget-line funding, because the grants open to for-profits are crowded and almost nobody is competing to be in somebody else’s budget.

    The whole story

  • $300,000

    Grantvest

    Software, Oklahoma

    Quillify wrote this application. Grantvest filed it, won $300,000 from a competitive state innovation program in 2024, and ran the award.

    Funder
    OCAST Industry Innovation Initiative

    The Industry Innovation Initiative funds companies whose work has economic impact in Oklahoma, and it is competitive. The draft came out of the product and about four hours of human editing went in before submission. That ratio is the whole argument for the product: four hours on judgment, none on assembly, against a $300,000 award. Grantvest carried the reporting and the management afterwards, which is work Quillify does not do and does not claim to.

    The whole story

The thing every one of them says

The wins differ. The experience does not. EnCor put together an application in about five minutes. The subcontracting customer spent “only a few minutes of additional effort” per proposal. Creative 3D was facing SBIRs that had taken 200 to 250 hours each, with four weeks to the deadline.

That is the part that holds for everyone we have helped, including the ones who did not win. Applications that used to take weeks have taken minutes, and that happens before anyone finds out whether the answer is yes.

Hundreds served, four you can check

We have served hundreds of organizations: nonprofits, consultants, university research offices, tribal nations, accelerators, and companies in software and manufacturing. The four below are the ones who let us print their name and their number.

Every award above names the funder, so each one is verifiable against a public record. That is the standard we hold every competitor to on the comparison page, and we hold it to ourselves.

Two of the four were won by being part of somebody else’s proposal rather than filing one: the $1.2M in subcontracted work, and the OCAST award, where Quillify wrote the application and Grantvest filed it. That route is invisible in every grants-only tool, and it is frequently the shortest way into money you could not have applied for yourself.

If one of those sounds like you

The stories above are a drone manufacturer, an additive manufacturer, a services company and ourselves. The pages below are written for who you actually are, and each one says what we do not do for you as well as what we do.

Or read how we compare with everyone else, in the one table in this category with a date on every price. If you would rather put an organization like these in a position to win, you can sponsor one.
