We read the whole funding world and prepare your grant applications, donor appeals and partnerships. Nothing leaves without your approval. Your charity, your name, your win.
Raising money is getting harder. Here is what changed:
The charities that come through stronger stay ahead of it. They see the whole picture, and act while it is fresh.
That is what the start AI fundraising machine is for. It watches everything, all the time, so you are already there when a window opens.
You keep the judgment. It does the watching and the work.
UK Grantmaking counts around 14,000 active UK grantmakers. Our index runs past 55,000 records because we keep the whole long tail too. We work all of it, so you apply everywhere your cause truly fits.
Sources: our funder library index, counted 11 July 2026 (registers overlap, so we count records, not unique funders); UK Grantmaking 2025, Association of Charitable Foundations.
The machine learns from real results and from what is working across the sector, so your fundraising follows evidence, not guesswork.
Steadier, more varied income, and an operation that keeps adapting. Not one big bet; many steady threads, woven together. So the funding arrives, for the people who need it.
The promise holds in each. Reach across the whole field, sight into what works, income that holds. Each service is the same machine, pointed at a different part of what you raise.
Not part of the pack. Each is the same machine pointed at one job, its own engagement, its own line item.
When something breaks in your field, a fast fundraising response: the appeal, the donors to activate, the emergency funder windows open right now, and the follow-through. On demand.

A defined piece of work. Talk to us →Checked 16 July 2026 against the public registers. Live in the finder; zero means zero, we never pad it.
About 8 hours per application, a sourced sector benchmark.
Real counts from the public registers we have swept. No account needed.
The whole funding world: registers, funders, windows, what is moving. All the time.
Applications, appeals and outreach, drafted and ready, in your charity's own voice.
Every word, before anything moves. It goes out in your name. Nothing is ever sent for you.
What worked feeds the next round, and the reading begins again, a little sharper.
The Start is built and run by Marc de Andrés: strategy consultant, partnership builder, and the engineer of the machine itself. He designs and codes the systems he sells: the CRM, the outreach pipelines, the AI that reads the funding world.
