Instabase for Grants Management

Instabase automates document understanding for all relevant documents involved in the processing of grants, streamlining grants management in an end-to-end workflow.

Processing and Managing Grants

Grants support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research, and many other programs that help fund ideas and projects to provide public services, stimulating the economy for citizens. Managing grants, however, is challenging because of largely manual processing of massive volumes of documents, an inefficient and ineffective method of management.

Why Instabase?

The Instabase Platform identifies, extracts, and summarizes information about prospective grantees from documents that are often hundreds of pages long. With Instabase, agencies can reduce the time spent on an assessment from hours to minutes, so administrators can make decisions more quickly and allow these critical initiatives to get underway.
