Why Bidx.ai?
Grant funding is broken. We’re fixing it.
Most founders are eligible for £100K to £2M in non-dilutive funding—and never claim it. The problem isn’t lack of capital. It’s the process.
Applications run 50+ pages, take weeks to prepare, and one mistake can quietly disqualify you. Founders waste time, miss deadlines, or pay consultants with no accountability.
We’ve been there. So we built BidX to solve it.
BidX is software that helps startups identify the right grants, generate high-quality draft applications, and avoid hidden pitfalls that sink most submissions. It takes what’s real in your business and helps you present it clearly, correctly, and convincingly.
Why We Built It
For over 20 years, we wrote technical bids in software, services, aerospace, construction, and deep tech. We've helped secure more than £125M in grants and over $1B in contracts.
But one issue persisted: the grant system wasn’t built for founders. It’s bureaucratic, overwhelming, and biased towards those with insider knowledge. Traditional consultants charge high retainers, while DIY founders waste months only to be rejected.
We envisaged something better: AI-driven grant support, designed to maximise your chance of success. BidX is that vision brought to life, built for ambitious founders who want fast, fair access to capital, without giving up equity or taking on debt.
