Aidy

Aidy, located in San Francisco, CA, is a burgeoning B2B company operating within the operations sub-industry. Founded by former employees of The Rockefeller Foundation and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Aidy is dedicated to making the federal grant application process more accessible and manageable. The company is currently in its early stages and is part of the Y Combinator W24 batch. Aidy’s platform is designed specifically for agricultural producers and rural small businesses in the United States and Canada, helping them apply for the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), which can cover up to 50% of costs for renewable energy or energy-efficient projects. The platform features tools such as AI-assisted form autofilling, document drafting, and a built-in chatbot for real-time assistance. Additionally, it includes a dashboard for tracking and organizing grant application tasks. Aidy also plans to expand its services to include more grant programs, develop tools for assessing and recommending funding opportunities across all federal grant programs, support collaboration between applicants and grant writers, and offer reporting and compliance services for the duration of a grant.
