Scammy Grant Industry || Why Most Grant Advice Is Wrong
In this video Stacy Chin, a veteran of federal grants and contracting with a decade of experience, argues that the majority of grant advice circulating among founders is fundamentally flawed. She explains that the core issue is not a lack of writing ability but a strategic blind spot: founders do not understand what makes a grant proposal successful. Drawing on her journey founding Keep Your Equity and helping secure over $50 million in non‑dilutive funding across sectors such as biotech, hard tech, climate tech, and AI, she outlines the real factors that lead to funded proposals, highlights common misconceptions, and warns about scammers exploiting the grant ecosystem. The video’s purpose is to educate founders on the correct strategy for accessing non‑dilutive capital and to demystify the grant process.
