Founding Member access · Limited spots

Turn your team's limited time into funding, not wasted applications.

The real problem

Why capable nonprofits still miss funding

Roughly 85% of grant applications are rejected
Each one takes 30 to 100+ hours to research and write. Most fail before a reviewer ever reads them.

Your team isn't the problem. The process is.

Teams target the wrong funders, miss hidden eligibility rules, or overlook constraints that disqualify them before review begins. Most grant tools optimize for writing speed - even when the opportunity was never viable.

Access problems
70% of private funding is invite-only
• Most funders never post public RFPs
• Public databases overrepresent funders that rarely support small nonprofits
Timing problems
2yr lag in most databases
• Eligibility rules quietly eliminate otherwise strong applications
• Funder priorities shift quietly between cycles
Accuracy problems
33-60% AI error rate
• AI-generated drafts introduce claims that aren't true
• Most tools guess when information is missing

Across all three problems, teams usually discover them too late. By the time anyone flags the issue, the deadline has passed, and many teams never realize there was a better opportunity to pursue.

Sharke surfaces these problems while there's still time to act.

Invite-only funders most databases miss

Built on the verification framework from AI You Can Actually Trust. Every eligibility check, funder preference, and grant requirement is verified against primary sources before it reaches your team.

Private access

Private access until public launch (September 2026)

Sharke is rolling out in limited phases. What we provide requires careful capacity management.

Until September 2026, access is extended only to organizations selected for the Founding Member cohort - teams working with active grant deadlines and real submission constraints.

For intermediaries and foundations

Many strong organizations go unfunded because they lack the hours to research and write, not because they lack impact. Sharke bridges this execution gap so funding decisions reflect program quality, not staff size.

You already know how to run programs that matter.
Funding them shouldn't require a full-time grants team.

Sharke gives small teams an edge in choosing the right grants.

Verified. Transparent. Built to keep you in control.
