GrantsScope is pioneering the intersection of data science and AI to empower donors in the web3 public goods funding (PGF).

Our mission? To revolutionize how donors identify and support grantees during PGF rounds.

The Challenge:

In large PGF rounds, where hundreds of grantees vie for attention, the brightest spotlight often falls on those with the strongest marketing. This imbalance creates a cycle where deserving projects may go unnoticed, leading to an uneven distribution of resources and opportunities.

The Result:

This disparity not only places additional burdens on grantees to amplify their visibility but also diverts their focus from creating meaningful impact. As a result, the true potential of PGF is left untapped, and innovation in public goods is stifled.

Our Solution: GrantsScope

We believe in leveling the playing field. GrantsScope harnesses the power of data analytics, machine learning, and advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance project visibility and democratize access to funding. Our experiments are designed to assist donors during quadratic funding rounds on Gitcoin Grants by

• Providing personalized recommendations, helping donors easily navigate the complexity of PGF rounds.
• Offering self-discovery tools that empower donors to explore and connect with projects that resonate with their values.
• Reducing information asymmetry, ensuring donors comprehensively understand the PGF landscape.

Our Impact:

The apps developed and deployed since Citizens Retro Round #2 are as follows:

• March 2024: Clustering-based Discovery tool for GreenPill Network x Octant Community Round
• January 2024: PoCs for Grantee Recommendations Engine
• December 2023: Code-created NFT art to illustrate power of PGF
• December 2023: 2023 Wrapped with Personalized Grantee Recommendations for Gitcoin Donors
• November 2023: Conversational App for 500+ projects in GG19 – Program Rounds and Climate Solutions Rounds

Join a growing community of over 500 unique users, as verified by StreamLit analytics, in exploring innovative applications that leverage conversational experiences using LLMs (Large Language Models) and clustering techniques.

What's next?

As the next milestone, GrantsScope will utilize existing onchain data and clustering techniques to offer personalized recommendations to donors in Gitcoin Grants (GG20) in April 2024.

The Team:

Rohit Malekar currently maintains this project as a single-person team. It is built on data abstractions created by Grants Stack Indexer and Gitcoin Grants Data Portal with plans to integrate with Regen Data.
