Lasso is your grant-writer in a box! We are a platform designed to assist individuals or organizations in securing grants. We identify, apply for, and manage grant opportunities on your behalf.

There is now more funding than ever to support sustainable bussinesses. But discovering and applying for this funding is expensive and time-consuming. So, we simplify the grant application process, making it easier for you to access funding opportunities for your projects. We help you discover and apply for grants with less effort.

Our team has successfully helped customers win grants with a >90% success rate, awarding more than $5 million and doing so more cheaply than traditional grant writers, allowing:
‍
1. More money in our customers’ pockets
2. More shots on goal with a range of grants

Our AI can serve two key roles:

1. Organize and map unstructured data into a grant application
2. Generate narratives

Getting accurate results for our customers is vital for us. We improve our models from feedback from expert grant writers, enhance the output with a repository of successful applications and grant rubrics, and ensure a human reviews your application to assure quality before submission. Therefore, we’re able to put together grant applications in 1/3 of the time it typically takes with 95% accuracy.

1. Geography: Nationwide, US-focused for now
‍2. Type: Farmers or agricultural producers, rural businesses, and more recently, conservation non-profits
3. Preference: Open to government grants
4. Nice to have: Already have a project and vendor or list of vendors identified
5. Partners: We also work with vendors like solar installers or food organizations like co-ops and processors to provide this funding support to their customers or member farmers.

1. Context: Based on a customer profile and proposed project, whether it’s installing new equipment, planting a new type of cover crop, or making an energy efficiency improvement, we gather information to determine which funding is best for you.
2. Eligibility: Share all eligible funding from federal, state, regional, and local sources. We ensure you are not only eligible but competitive.
3. Application: Put together the application from start to finish. Manage all stakeholders, inputs needed, and narratives to create a high-quality application.
4. Award Management: Ensure all your i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed once you get the award to make sure you can get reimbursed as soon as possible.

Our software can extract data from uploaded documents, autofill forms, and generate narratives validated by our expert grant writers.

We evaluate the competitiveness of a score based on criteria set by the grant program, such as:

1.  Project feasibility
2.  Financial stability
3.  Technical specifications
4.  Environmental impact

If your score is not competitive enough, we will provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve your application. This might involve revising the project plan, obtaining additional documentation, or identifying alternative funding sources.

Grants provide financial assistance that does not need to be repaid, reducing the overall cost of projects and making them more financially viable. Governments offer grants to promote public good, encourage innovation, support economic development, and address social or environmental issues, such as increasing the adoption of renewable energy.

The grants range from federal grants like the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to state-specific opportunities and will help you cover the costs for projects like:

1. Renewable energy systems (e.g., solar, wind, anaerobic digester)
2. Energy efficiency improvements (e.g., milking robots, grain dryer upgrades, replacing diesel generators with solar, lighting, refrigeration, heating, ventilation and cooling)
3. Buildings or facilities to produce livestock or livestock products
4. Development of pasture for use by livestock, including but not limited to lanes, watering systems, and fences
5. Equipment for livestock housing, confinement, feeding, and waste management

The security and privacy of our customers’ data is a tenet to our work at Lasso. We store your data securely with the most advanced data security standards. We do not share your data with anyone without your knowledge or consent. Your data is not used to train open-source models; it only lives within the Lasso ecosystem.
