When we first showed Jennifer Garson from Boundary Stone Partners our Discover tool, she understood the vision but was immediately skeptical. To test the accuracy of Discover, she dove into a #DOE opportunity that she had written. (On Streamline, each funding opportunity has an AI-powered chat to answer questions about the solicitation, saving you from reading the entire #FOA.)

Immediately, Jenn asked a question that had confused everyone, knowing our AI would struggle to find the answer. The answer to her eligibility question was referenced within the FOA, but never actually delineated. At this point — back in May — Discover was unable to find the right answer given this layer of complexity.

In that moment we thought we’d lost all trust with Jenn 💔

Instead, she saw the potential! We soon built a way to do deeper contextualization. Now, when a FOA mentions a separate document, Streamline knows how to find more details.

We spent the next 3 months working through all of the edge cases that Jenn found. The hardest challenges came from working within a complicated landscape of outdated information and broken links.

🎉 Today, Discover is officially out of beta! It is the most comprehensive tool for identifying and qualifying government funding opportunities for the energy and climate transition.

The best part? We have a free version with all the basic search functionality across our entire dataset. (If you are a power-user in need of recommendations, notifications, bulk exports, memos, etc., please reach out.)

💚 Incredibly proud of our team at Streamline Climate for what we’ve achieved. Especially proud of Megan Raisle for pushing the bar so high, Eric Hasegawa for solving large scale data challenges, Charlie Luo for diving in with two feet and pulling off the impossible after only recently joining our team, and Deo A-Mutomb for all the design wizardry that made our solution so elegant.

What's next?

There’s an endless list of improvements and new features we’re building — from integrations that cover all local opportunities, to teaming lists, to an automated eligibility checker, and so much more.
