How the math works
  • · 120 grantees × ~28 hrs saved/yr × $60 blended ops cost = $201,600 in capacity returned to mission.
  • · Cohort surfaces ~$4.1M of net-new aligned funding opportunities annually, with materially higher submission rates.
  • · Foundation pays $75K → $675K of measurable return on capacity + pipeline. Renewal becomes a no-brainer.
Revenue model

Three streams, one compounding base.

Cohort licenses (now)

Foundations pay annual fees to license SWARMGOOD for their grantee portfolio.

Recurring, multi-year, expansion on grantee count.

Portfolio intelligence (next)

Program officers buy aggregate dashboards, evidence rollups, and board-ready reporting.

Expansion seat inside the same foundation.

Impact data infrastructure (later)

Verified outcomes API for CSR, public agencies, and impact-aligned capital allocators.

Usage and data-access pricing on top of recurring base.
