Founder & CEO
Grant intelligence built from the inside out.
Kristin DeProspero has spent nearly two decades at the intersection of government technology procurement and federal funding strategy. Her career began working directly with federal agencies on technology modernization initiatives — giving her a firsthand understanding of how funding decisions are made, how programs are structured, and where technology vendors consistently fall short.
What Kristin observed repeatedly was a critical gap: technology companies with genuinely transformative solutions were missing funding opportunities not because they weren't eligible — but because they lacked the intelligence infrastructure to identify, prepare for, and execute on those opportunities in time.
That insight became the foundation of Funding Solutions Corp. Kristin built a systematic, intelligence-driven approach to grant strategy — one that treats funding as a continuous operational discipline, not a one-time event. Her methodology has helped AV integrators, telehealth providers, cybersecurity firms, and government agencies successfully navigate some of the most competitive federal and state funding programs in the country.
Today, that methodology powers Funding Solutions Corp's AI-driven grant intelligence platform — which monitors hundreds of federal and state programs in real time, delivering fast, precise signals aligned to each client's technology vertical.
Our Mission
"To ensure that no technology company with a transformative solution misses a funding opportunity because they lacked the intelligence to see it coming."
— Kristin DeProspero, Founder & CEO

Recognizing the Systemic Gap
After more than two decades across major technology companies, Kristin identifies a consistent pattern: technology vendors with strong solutions were routinely missing funding windows due to a lack of structured intelligence infrastructure.
