Grant Writer for Startups & Nonprofits | Business Plan | SBIR | NSF

🚀 Grant Writer & Business Plan Expert for Startups and Nonprofits 💼$30M+ in Funding Secured | SBIR • NSF • NIH • Foundations • SBA Programs Need a funding-ready proposal or investor-grade business plan that gets noticed? Let’s make it happen. Got a groundbreaking idea, a mission-driven startup, or a community-centered nonprofit… but now you need funding and a solid plan to match? That’s where I come in. I’m Emmanuel—your strategic partner in turning big ideas into fully-funded realities. With over $30 million raised across federal grants (NSF, NIH, DOD, USDA), foundation funding, and business competitions, I’ve helped passionate founders, changemakers, and creators go from “just an idea” to “approved and funded.” ⸻ 📝 What I Do (in Plain English) • Write grant proposals that don’t bore reviewers to sleep • Craft business plans that actually make investors nod and say “let’s talk” • Conduct market research & financial modeling that doesn’t feel like guesswork • Identify funding sources so you’re not chasing dead-end opportunities Whether you’re applying for SBIR/STTR, chasing foundation grants, preparing for an accelerator, or simply need a roadmap that makes sense to a lender or investor—I’ve got you. ⸻ 💡 Why Work With Me? Because I’ve sat on both sides of the table—as a grant reviewer, I-Corps mentor, pitch competition judge, and SBA advisor. I know how to speak the funder’s language while staying true to your vision. Also… I keep things refreshingly human. No bloated templates, no jargon soup—just clear, persuasive writing and strategy tailored to what you do best. ⸻ ✅ A Few Wins I’m Proud Of: • Helped a health-tech founder secure $275K in SBIR grants • Wrote a nonprofit’s first proposal—landed $80K from a community foundation • Turned a rough concept into a polished pitch deck that won a $25K competition • Coached a startup through SBA loan prep and pitch in just 10 days ⸻ 🎯 Let’s Talk Goals If you’re serious about funding and want someone who’s not just a writer—but a partner who understands business, strategy, and the reality of entrepreneurship—then I’m all in. So, tell me: Are you ready to stop guessing and start winning? Let’s bring your mission to life—with clarity, confidence, and some really good writing. Shoot me a message—your success story could be my next favorite case study. — Emmanuel Top-Rated | Strategic Consultant | Funding Whisperer

"I hired Olayinka to write both a grant proposal and business plan. Both documents exceeded my expectations in terms of detail, design, and content. He was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire process. I was able to submit my grant application on time; I will 100% be working with him in the future for other business needs. I wish I could give him more than a five star rating!!"
