“The process of working with Astound to find non-dilutive funding opportunities was unbelievably fast and easy. Astound was able to return to us more opportunities than we've ever been able to find on our own. It was lightning fast and pretty incredible.”
“Astound Research improved my overall efficiency in finding the best potential grants for my science. Astound made it so much easier to sift through huge grant calls to figure out exactly what the agency wants and whether my research areas were a good fit.

“Astound broadened my perspective of potential funding opportunities by identifying interesting opps beyond the typical targets. They matched my work to potential grants in non-profits and various federal agencies that would have taken me weeks to find. The time saved is easily worth the investment.”
