US Funding Discovery is built and maintained by Emerge and Rise™ — a San Antonio-based venture development organization dedicated to helping established small and mid-sized businesses scale, modernize, and access the capital they deserve.
Finding funding is one of the biggest hurdles facing growth-stage entrepreneurs. Federal programs are buried in government portals, state grants shift every fiscal year, and competitions close before most founders hear about them. This platform was created to cut through that noise — surfacing grants, SBIR/STTR programs, competitions, fellowships, and corporate funds in one searchable, up-to-date feed.
We built this for the business owners Emerge and Rise works with every day: women-led companies, first-generation entrepreneurs, veterans, and founders who didn't start with the usual connections or capital. Every opportunity on this platform is a real door worth knocking on.
Our AI-powered Eligibility Advisor goes a step further — instead of guessing whether you qualify, you can have a guided conversation that evaluates your business against a program's requirements before you invest time in applying.
Hundreds of active grants, competitions, and programs updated regularly.
Assess your fit for any opportunity through a guided AI conversation.
Designed for entrepreneurs who are past the startup phase and ready to scale.
Every opportunity sourced from verified federal, state, and private programs.
