Alexandria LaunchLabs Webinar Series: Turning Uncertainty Into Opportunity

Mastering Funding in 2025

The federal funding environment is evolving rapidly. In this dynamic 45-minute session, Grant Engine will outline what’s new, what’s uncertain, and what winning teams are doing right now to secure non-dilutive funding and, crucially, what leading companies are doing now for their medium and long term funding future.

The webinar, presented by Grant Engine Founder & CEO Sam Tetlow, will review the current funding environment under the new Presidential administration and detail effective strategies to navigate that environment based on our experience and recent success.

Next, learn what makes your content “win” and how A.I. (when used smartly) can improve both quality and speed. At the NIH, submission volume increased significantly in 2024, driven by AI. Concurrently, approval rates were down even more on a percentage basis. Understanding how A.I. can be used effectively to help you win, while avoiding the pitfalls that A.I. naturally provides.

Lastly, we will cover a crucial aspect to “Winning” funding opportunities: self-renewing strategies for securing long-term funding. By pursuing strategies like virtuous circle; snowball; and platform among others, we will define reliable strategies that serve your short and long-term interests to win more funding!
