Levelling the playing field.
We believe the best ideas should win funding — not just the organisations with the best grant writers.
Our Story
Why we built Hoist.
Every year, billions of dollars in grants and contracts go to organisations with dedicated bid teams and expensive consultants. Meanwhile, small businesses and not-for-profits — often doing the most important work — struggle to compete.
We've seen brilliant community organisations lose funding to slick submissions from better-resourced competitors. We've watched small businesses burn hundreds of hours on applications they never had a real chance of winning.
Hoist AI exists to change that equation. By giving every organisation access to intelligent funding discovery, data-driven decision making, and AI-assisted writing, we're making the funding landscape fairer.
This isn't about replacing humans. It's about giving your team superpowers.

What we stand for.
Fairness
Funding should flow to impact, not to whoever can afford the best consultants.
Transparency
We're clear about what our AI can and can't do. No magic. No black boxes.
Privacy
Your data is yours. We don't train on it. We don't share it. We don't sell it.
Craft
We obsess over details because the details matter.
