Win MoreGrants.Carry Less Weight.
The compliance-first AI writing assistant for UK innovators. Built for founders who need funding, not consultants.
The Comparison
UK Innovators Are Leaving Millions on the Table
The traditional grant writing process is broken. Here is how ZenGrants changes that.
To First Draft
The old way: founders waste 40+ hours deciphering grant guidance and formatting documents, time better spent on R&D.
ZenGrants: Automated document parsing, formatting, and AI drafting cut application time from weeks to days.
No Consultant Fees
The old way: grant consultants charge £5K–£15K per application, often taking success percentages or equity stakes on top.
ZenGrants: Consultant-quality applications without the consultant price tag. No equity stakes, no success fees.
Higher Success Rate
The old way: in April 2024, only 46 out of 1,645 Innovate UK applications were funded. A 97% rejection rate.
ZenGrants: AI that targets every scoring criterion assessors use, structured to give your application the edge.
Consultant-Style Questioning
Interactive dialogue that surfaces your innovation's core strengths, commercial strategy, and UK impact: the details that make winning applications. This is the expertise consultants charge £15K for.
