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?

How will those looking for grants find you?

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!
Down the road, we're looking into charging based on the dollar amount that we help researchers win, but for now we’re charging a monthly subscription.
why not try to charge universities more and then provide a open list?

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