Founder’s Story

We built the tool the underdogs never had.

NexGrant AI exists because the grant economy rewards staffing, not need — and the people doing the most important work in their communities are the ones least able to afford a grant writer.

NexGrant AI is a veteran-owned company founded by Dr. Logan Asbury and co-founder Nick Inabnitt, a former National Blue Ribbon–winning principal. We come from places — and serve places — where the gap between need and funding is widest.

The pattern was impossible to ignore. Large, well-funded organizations employ full teams of grant writers and compliance officers. They capture a disproportionate share of available funding not because their missions matter more, but because they can afford the staff to chase it. Meanwhile the small nonprofit with one overworked executive director, the town with a part-time clerk, the county sheriff’s office with real needs and no time — they miss most of the funding they’re eligible to win.

That isn’t a writing problem. It’s a capacity problem. And every tool on the market solved the wrong half of it: they got very good at finding grants, and left the actual application — the 40 to 60 pages that decide everything — on your desk.

So we built the missing piece. NexGrant reads the announcement, writes the complete application with sourced claims, grades it against the funder’s own rubric, fills the forms, runs a reviewer-style QA pass, and — once you approve — files it to Grants.gov. Not a search result. Not a draft. The submission.

We priced it against the writer you can’t afford to hire, because the point was never to build another tool for the organizations that already had everything. The point was to give everyone else a fair shot at the same money.

What we believe

Three convictions behind the product.

Need should beat staffing

The organization with the strongest case for funding should be able to compete for it — regardless of whether it can afford a grant team.

Finish the job

Finding a grant was never the hard part. We measure ourselves on filed applications, not search results.

Veteran-owned, mission-first

We’re an SBA-certified SDVOSB based in Cincinnati. Veteran-owned preference programs make us straightforward for public agencies to buy.
