The uncomfortable truth

Your competitors aren't smarter.
They're just subsidized.

The best-capitalized startups on earth don't pay retail for infrastructure. They run on six-figure stacks of credits, hardware grants and founder perks that most founders don't know exist, can't qualify for alone, or don't have time to chase. We do that work, and we do it as a product, not a mystery.

The Stack

Six grants. One envelope. Fifty thousand plus.

Every client receives a minimum of six approved grants, matched to their stack and stage. Below is a representative example of what a typical cohort unlocks. Your actual package is custom-built after intake.

The Process

Four steps. One week. Every grant closed.

  1. 01

    Qualification intake

    A 20-minute call and a short dossier. We profile your company against every active program's eligibility matrix: stage, sector, spend, stack, incorporation, investor signal.

  2. 02

    Custom grant map

    Within 48 hours you receive a bespoke map of the six to twelve grants you qualify for, ranked by ROI, approval probability and time-to-deploy.

  3. 03

    We file everything

    Applications, partner warm intros, referral codes, cap table and tech review prep, eligibility waivers. You review and sign. We push the paperwork.

  4. 04

    Credits land in your accounts

    Approvals arrive in days, not months. You deploy credits into production. We stay on retainer-free call until every last grant is activated.

Field Notes

Operators who stopped paying retail.

"We had been trying to get into Microsoft for Startups for four months. Apex closed it in nine days and bundled it with NVIDIA and Cloudflare on top. The $999 paid itself back 60×."

The Keystone Guarantee

Six grants. $50,000 in delivered value. Or a full, no-questions refund, plus you keep every grant we did close for you. We can afford to make this promise because we've never had to keep it.

FAQ

The fine print, in plain English.

Who qualifies?+

Keystone is built for companies with AI already live in their product or operations: LLM-powered features, GPU workloads, voice or vision models, vector search, autonomous agents, ML pipelines in production, or similar. Pre-revenue, seed, Series A and profitable bootstrapped teams are all welcome, as long as AI is a core part of what you ship. If AI is only on a roadmap, we are not a fit yet. We will tell you honestly within 20 minutes whether we can hit the guarantee for you.

Is this an affiliate scheme?+

No. We are a concierge. The grants belong to the providers and to you; our relationship with you is fully paid, transparent and non-equity. Some programs offer us partner referral status, which we use to accelerate approvals for you; we never skim your credits.

What if I've already applied to some of these?+

Bring us the receipts. We will route around them, pursue tier-upgrades on anything you're under-utilizing, and fill the remainder from the deep bench of less-advertised programs most founders never see.

How does the guarantee actually work?+

If 60 days after intake we have not closed six grants totalling $50,000+ in combined credit value, you receive a full refund of your $999. You also keep every grant we did close. That is the entire contract.

Why isn't this more expensive?+

Because we run it as a product, not a boutique consultancy. Our intake, scoring and filing pipelines are largely automated, so we can deliver at a price point that's obviously correct for the founder on the other side. Volume is the moat.

How do I get started?+

Checkout, answer the intake questionnaire, and your onboarding call is booked within 24 hours. Most clients have their first approval in their inbox inside of a week.
