Zero to Funded: How to Secure Grants for Your Business | GRANTED x BFN

In this full session of Zero to Funded, hosted by Black Founders Network (BFN) and powered by GRANTED, Justina Kanza, Founder & CEO of GRANTED, breaks down what it takes to secure non-dilutive funding — and build a fundable business that consistently attracts grants. 

If you’ve ever searched “how to get startup funding,” “how to find business grants,” or “how to write a winning grant,” this is your roadmap. 

In this session, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Build a grant-seeking strategy that actually leads to funding 

✅ Write grant applications that stand out and get approved 

✅ Use AI tools to find and manage grants faster 

✅ Build a fundable founder profile that attracts investors and grantors 

Why this matters: 

Every year, over $37 billion in grant funding is available to founders, nonprofits, artists, and researchers — but most of it goes unclaimed. The process is complex, time-consuming, and fragmented. GRANTED is changing that by simplifying how founders find, apply for, and win grants.
