Becoming an Inventor
The Challenge
Finding the right funding can feel like a full-time job. Entrepreneurs often struggle to locate reliable, relevant opportunities—information is scattered, outdated, or hard to verify.
The Innovation
Inspired by the way students search for scholarships, this patented concept introduces a smart, data-driven tool that connects entrepreneurs with real-time funding opportunities. Using public data, machine learning, and predictive insights, it builds a personalized roadmap—complete with funding recommendations, success forecasts, and timelines. My goal was to help founders reach their financial goals faster.
The Journey
Born from a simple idea and refined through the Capital One Patent Program, my invention combines creativity, legal expertise, and technology to make the path to funding clearer.
