I have secured over $10,000,000 across 90+ winning grants, contracts, and SBIR awards. GPC + APMP + AGWA certified, with a 50% win rate across 180 submissions and 10+ years of technical writing experience.
I have written successful submissions for:
Federal agencies: NSF, NIH, DOD, HUD, HHS, DOE, USDA, DOJ, DOL, SAMHSA, and GSA Schedules.
Foundations: Gates, Ford, Open Society, Lilly Endowment, Rockefeller, Bloomberg, Robert Wood Johnson, Kellogg, Hewlett, Moore, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
SBIR/STTR and R&D: NSF SBIR/STTR, NIH, DOD, and DOE.
Representative win:
I wrote a successful NSF SBIR Phase I cybersecurity proposal that beat the program's 10 to 15 percent acceptance rate. It secured $305,000 with a fast-track alignment toward $500,000 in Phase II commercialization (total footprint ~$805,000). The submission cleared a panel of PhD researchers and VCs on three pillars: a novel decentralized machine learning architecture for zero-day exploit detection, signed enterprise letters of intent, and a clear "why now" thesis tied to next-generation public infrastructure threats.
Who I work best with:
Startups and small businesses pursuing SBIR/STTR awards or federal contracts.
Nonprofits seeking foundation or federal grant funding.
Research and technical teams who need complex ideas translated into evaluator-ready narratives.
Organizations that do not yet have a target opportunity and need the whole funding pipeline built.
What I write:
End-to-end grant strategy, from finding the right opportunity to winning it. Foundation and corporate grant applications, from LOIs to full proposals. Federal grant submissions (NIH, NSF, SAMHSA, HUD, DOE, USDA, DOJ, DOL). SBIR and STTR Phase I, II, and III proposals. Federal RFP, RFQ, and RFI responses for DOD, GSA Schedules, and civilian agencies. Capability statements, past performance, key personnel and budget narratives, 2 CFR 200 compliant budgets, compliance matrices, technical and management volumes, capture strategy, and Pink and Red Team review.
Sectors I cover in depth:
Federal R&D and Defense: cybersecurity, zero-trust architecture, CMMC compliance, AI and ML, cloud infrastructure, UAVs, defense systems, geospatial intelligence, smart-grid modernization, and emergency response logistics.
Federal Services and GovCon: construction, facilities maintenance, IT systems, management consulting, logistics, training, and administrative support.
Foundation and Public Sector Impact: community health, biomedical research, higher education R&D, K-12 and early childhood, social services, environmental and climate science, international development, and arts and humanities.
Why clients hire me:
I understand both foundation funding logic and federal procurement logic, and I write to each on its own terms. For grants, I build narratives around theory of change, equity, evaluation design, outcomes, sustainability, and funder alignment. For government proposals, I build around FAR compliance, evaluation scoring, technical approach, management capability, past performance, and risk reduction. My triple certification and decade of technical writing let me turn dense engineering, scientific, and clinical content into narrative an evaluator can score quickly. My 50% win rate runs three to five times the federal SBIR baseline.
How I work:
Many clients come to me without a target opportunity yet. They know they need funding but do not know which grants fit or how to sequence applications. I handle the full process end to end:
1. Discovery and funder research: I find grants, RFPs, and SBIR/STTR solicitations matched to your mission, eligibility, geography, and budget, and give you a prioritized shortlist with deadlines and fit rationale.
2. Strategy: We map a 6 to 12 month calendar and build reusable assets (theory of change, logic model, capability statement, boilerplate, past performance library) that compound across applications.
3. Drafting and compliance: I write every document and run it through a compliance check against the funder's criteria before submission.
4. Submission support: I manage portals (Grants.gov, SAM.gov, SBIR.gov, foundation systems), upload checks, and final review.
5. Post-submission: I review evaluator feedback and sharpen the next round.
I work to your deadline and respond within hours, not days. Deadlines are the one thing in this field that cannot be recovered, so I treat them as fixed.
Send me your RFP, NOFO, SBIR or STTR solicitation, foundation guidelines, or grant idea, and I will tell you honestly whether it is winnable and how. If it is not the right fit, I will tell you that too.

I consider it entirely magical to help clients raise $140 M+ since 2024 through Business Plans, Grants, and Pitch decks. The same MAGIC was used to win contracts generating millions of dollars in daily revenue for some really complex industries in the Aviation and Oil and Gas sector.
✅Within 5 and 8 weeks, my clients were able to raise $18 M and $30 M, respectively, from top VCs.
✅Mohamed, the then aspiring CEO of TWINDI- "the board stood up while appointing me the latest CEO after a conclusion was reached that I presented the exact business plan needed to propel the company ahead."
✅Sharon said – "This is a very rare business plan writer I have seen. I am someone who needs a lot of business plans, and I can tell greatly the quality of a business plan. This seller is just on another level entirely. I wish I had met him before now."
✅Faith Brandy said- "I am starting another Non-profit firm, and I would like you to give me that same business plan that secured me huge grants and sponsorship for CAPTUREIT"
✅A Brokerage that helps businesses apply for tax exemption with the Labuan Business Management Board in Malaysia- "we are sticking to you because we have recorded over 95% success rate since we have been getting business plans for our clients from you.
✅Fran, a product photographer and videographer said- I got my VISA approved, so it’s all good.
⚠️I am not stressing about the outline of a business plan and pitch deck here- ANYONE COULD BROWSE AND WRITE UNDER EACH.
I UNDERSTAND I can’t work for everybody.
But it should be an issue of concern when Investors, Banks, and other investment companies are aware that over 70% of businesses fail, and a survey reports that less than 25% of business plans/pitch decks tendered to investors and banks eventually secure funding.
Then, the quality and effectiveness of your Business Plan/ Pitch Deck should be a BIG DEAL.
Starting is extremely DIFFICULT! There is always NOT ENOUGH money! Investors’ feet are FIRM on the ground!
What WORKS FOR "company A" DOES NOT WORK FOR "company B" most times.
My clients are going on a high target, and I am helping them smash it.
Consider me a great fit if:
- There’s an opportunity for $$$ on the line to be grabbed
- All resources are available, I just need a clear roadmap
- You had a bad experience with getting effective and quality plans and decks
- A peculiarity in your business
- You want to work with a Business-savvy person.
- You have contracts to win/ deals to seal on the spot.
- You want to win the CEO or VP seat.
How WORKING WITH ME looks:
You will know what to expect at the end from the start; you will maximize your time and know exactly how much it will cost you from start to finish.
★You will get a TOP-LEVEL business plan and deck that raises X 3 of your ask.
★You will learn how to present your company/ idea/ product to potential investors and audiences.
★You need to set your notification for my messages because I love great communication.
★We will have meetings during and after the project to ensure you understand the figures, assumptions, and terms in the business plan/ pitch deck (to help you stand tall in the face of investors, banks, and board members).
★I will help you SAVE A LOT OF MONEY
MY GOLDEN RULE:
Personally, I like to have a feel of the quality of service/ product I will be paying for. So, I expect my potential clients to be convinced of what they would be paying for as well.
If you would need to see a business plan sample from me, I will only send you a sample from an unrelated industry.
