Ulysses waitlist
There is over $1.1T in state and federal grant money.
Agencies like the one you work at use that to fund capital projects for the public, whether that's a new park or a few less potholes. Sometimes it funds much needed housing or homeless shelters.
But, finding grants, applying for them, fulfilling compliance requests, and completing audits is time-consuming and disorganized.
It's not clear if a project is shovel-ready or not. Answering "which costs are covered by this year's CDBG" takes a week. Your brain is stretched thin across email threads, spreadsheets, shared docs, and a PowerPoint.
That's where Ulysses comes in.
Ulysses is a civ-tech startup transforming how counties, cities, and public agencies turn grant dollars into real community impact.
We're building the end-to-end platform for the grant lifecycle - from mapping projects to grants, drafting and submitting applications, managing awards and compliance reports, all the way to constituent-ready reports.
We're building what works, not what sells, by selecting a few early design partners to provide feedback as we go.
Fill out the following form. If it's a fit, we'll reach out.
