This site is for founders who need two things at the same time: funding to get off the ground — SBIR/STTR, AFWERX, SpaceWERX, DIU, DARPA, DOE, NSF and more — and simulation to show reviewers and investors the physics holds up. Our free Funding Finder maps the money with direct links to every source. Then we put Ansys simulation and live engineering support in your hands — free to start — to build and validate your MVP.
Not one or the other — both at once. That's exactly who we help, and why it costs nothing to start the conversation.
Money to build your idea — federal non-dilutive dollars like SBIR/STTR, AFWERX, SpaceWERX, DIU, DARPA, DOE, NSF and NASA, or the private round you're lining up. You're deep in the search for capital right now.
Your technology has to be simulated to be believed: CFD, structural, thermal, electromagnetics, optics. You already run Ansys (or another simulation tool), or you know you're about to. Proving the physics is on your critical path.
If both describe you, you're in the right place. The Funding Finder is free to use, and the first conversation about Ansys is free too.
The best moment to line up simulation is while you're still chasing the money — not months later when licenses are suddenly on your critical path. Whatever stage you're at, reach out early.
You're an incorporated startup with a product underway and funding in motion. You need Ansys in your engineers' hands now — and a smart path to affordable long-term access.
You're working in stealth — no press, no public footprint, keeping the idea close. That's fine. Reach out privately; a confidential conversation about simulation access doesn't blow your cover.
No company yet — maybe no funding yet either. Just a few of you sketching a product and figuring out where the money comes from. Talk to us now, and simulation is ready the moment you are. No incorporation required to start.
We are a simulation-software and engineering-support provider. We don't touch your funding paperwork — but we get real Ansys into your hands so your technology stands up to scrutiny.
Get hands-on with the actual Ansys tools your technology needs — a real evaluation, not a locked demo — so you can start simulating your design straight away.
Talk your project through with an application engineer who’ll help you learn and apply Ansys to your MVP — setting up the right physics, meshing, and studies to get credible results.
A free consultation on whether you qualify for the Ansys Startup Program — significantly discounted access to the broader Ansys portfolio for early-stage companies.
This site exists to aggregate funding sources — SBIR/STTR and federal non-dilutive programs across DoD, DOE, NSF, NASA and civilian agencies — into one free, up-to-date map, with a direct link to each official source. That's it. We are an independent Ansys reseller and engineering-support provider. We do not prepare, write, review, or advise on grant, SBIR/STTR, or funding applications, and we do not guarantee any funding outcome. Award amounts, deadlines, and eligibility rules change constantly — always verify every figure on the agency's official page before you rely on it. What we sell and support is simulation software and engineering. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or grant-writing advice.
From airflow to antennas, blast to batteries — the Ansys portfolio spans the core physics defense reviewers want to see validated.
Use the Funding Finder to see which programs fit your technology, stage, and mission area.
See exactly which Ansys tools validate the technology each program funds.
We line up evaluation licenses, Startup Program bundles, and an application engineer.
Simulate, de-risk, and generate the results that make your technology credible.
Incorporated, in stealth, or still just an idea — tell us a little about your project and what you're building toward. We'll tell you what Ansys access you can get for free and whether you qualify for the Startup Program. No cost, no obligation.
