Testimonials
“I wanted to write and provide an update on our two grant proposals submitted last year to the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. As of yesterday, we have officially gone 2/2 with our SBIR Phase I awards! I especially appreciate the work from Ron on proposal editing and Jun in shepherding these through the external peer review process. I know that they emerged from the Grant Engine process as much stronger proposals, and we’re grateful that the DOE and NSF saw merit in each of these documents.”
“I have contracted with many companies that offer professional services. Ron Godiska and Jun Wang’s superlative work ethic, keen intellect, genuine kindness, and unfailing attention to detail have surpassed my wildest expectations. You both are a credit to your disciplines and reflect well on Grant Engine. We would not have been able to do this without you both.”
“Dear Sam, On behalf of Magpad, I wanted to express our utmost gratitude to your team for their work on our NIH SBIR grant application. From the start, Zachary, Simon, Julie, Chris, Diane, and yourself have been exceptional in your professionalism and responsiveness to our needs.
I especially wanted to commend our grant writers Jun Wang and Ian Bruzas for their tireless work on our behalf. They kept us on top of our tasks, advised and assisted us, and guided us through the entire tortuous (and torturous) application process. Having once attempted to do the application myself (unsubmitted), I understand how difficult it is. Jun and Ian were able to fully understand and demonstrate our device and accentuate its advantages. The weekly calls kept us updated and perfectly on time for the deadline. The process could not have been smoother. After our final draft and the review comments from the external reviewers, we believe that Jun and Ian were able to present our company and device in the best possible light. We are in their debt. Here’s to hoping that we will have a long and productive relationship with Grant Engine for our budgeting and Phase II application!”
“Jun and Randy were patient and smart. We appreciate and value the team.”
“We were very happy with our experience with Grant Engine! Their team was helpful, organized, and our communication with the team was great. They took the time to understand our project and had the grantsmanship and expertise needed to do the job well! We are already a repeat customer and will definitely be turning to Grant Engine again in the future.“
“At Taproot, we insist on the highest quality of product and effort – Grant Engine surpassed our expectations. The Grant Engine team worked closely with us to create a grant submission that we felt confident in, and were patient with us throughout the process. I will definitely be looking to them again in the future!“
“Our experience with Grant Engine was outstanding. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and thorough in their work for us. Working with them not only saved us time and stress but was also an educational experience for our whole team. I would strongly recommend them to any organizations looking for guidance through the grant process.”
“Culturally and professionally Grant Engine is a perfect fit for NellOne Therapeutics. Our company is driven by a passion for service. That means overcoming obstacles to get to market. The Grant Engine team shares in our passion and has delivered tremendous commitment coupled with incredible insight in our drive for non-dilutive funding. They listen, consider and endow exceptional feedback that is instrumental in communicating our value proposition and plan. They have my unqualified endorsement.”
“We have a high bar in working with partners as we leverage our decades of successful pharmaceutical experience to the microbiome. With Sam Tetlow and Kristin Scott at Grant Engine, we have found partners who deeply understand the research and business aspects behind drug discovery and development and who have an excellent track record in obtaining non-dilutive funding. In the 2+ years since engaging Grant Engine, we have submitted five SBIR applications and been awarded all five. While there is surely some good fortune involved with this perfect track record, Grant Engine’s process and team is a fundamental reason that has generated these results. We recommend their exceptional approach to helping you build a great product and company, just like they have helped us realize our success.”
“Grant Engine embodies persistence and hard work under pressure. As our product developed and we continued to meet key milestones, Kristin Scott, Lanika Starks and the entire Grant Engine team worked to deliver a focused SBIR Direct to Phase 2 grant to secure non-dilutive funding. They are not only dedicated to their work and detail-oriented, they are also a pleasure to work with, especially under tight deadlines. We look forward to working with them again in the future, and we hope you do as well!“
