About

Since 2015, over 4,000 organizations have used Instrumentl to find, win, and manage more than $6.7 billion in grant funding, empowering them to expand their impact on critical missions like educating children, protecting endangered species, and restoring natural habitats. The problem they solve is urgent: every year, nonprofits spend countless hours manually searching scattered databases and wrestling with spreadsheets to track grants. This inefficiency means less time for the programs that actually change lives. Instrumentl exists to fix this by providing the first intelligent, full lifecycle grant platform that brings grant prospecting, tracking, and management to one place.

The company's AI-powered SaaS platform automatically matches organizations with the right funders from a database of over 400,000, tracks 24/7 for new opportunities, and streamlines the entire application workflow. Founded by a team of former nonprofit development staff who experienced these pain points firsthand, Instrumentl is now trusted by 5,500+ nonprofits and academic institutions nationwide. Backed by Summit Partners and Y Combinator, the company is cash flow positive and doubling year-over-year, proving that you can build a thriving business while democratizing access to funding that communities desperately need.

Anduril

We build advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds - some of us spent years at places like Palantir, while others joined directly from the military. We're united by a shared belief that the way we approach national security needs to fundamentally change. Instead of the traditional defense contractor model, we're taking a software-first approach to building hardware and AI systems that actually work in the real world. The challenges we tackle are complex, from autonomous undersea vehicles to counter-drone systems and solid rocket motors. We've grown quickly since 2017, but we've worked hard to maintain a culture where engineers can take ownership of projects that have real, material impact. We don't pretend this work is easy - building reliable defense systems that protect lives requires incredible attention to detail and relentless testing. But we believe it's some of the most meaningful work anyone can do right now.

The company combines deep local insights with global knowledge to deliver solutions that address pressing societal needs - from resilient power grids and sustainable data centers to climate-adaptive infrastructure and biodiversity conservation.
