Meet the Trusted Experts Helping Founders Fuel Their Growth

Our Funding Catalyst team is made up of PhDs, MBAs and technical experts ready to help founders secure non-dilutive capital like grants, wage subsidies and tax credits. They're passionate about helping companies get the right funding at the right time to accelerate their growth.

Behind every successful grant, tax credit, and non-dilutive funding win is a team of experts that know how to help founders translate their vision into opportunities for growth. 

At Thin Air Labs, the Funding Catalyst team is made up of strategists, grant writers, consultants and project managers who work directly with founders to unlock non-dilutive capital. Built with a mix of PhDs, MBAs, and industry experts, the FC team brings both technical depth and business acumen to every engagement. But more than that, these experts are partners embedded in the journey, helping founders navigate one of the most complex parts of building a company.

Their work goes far beyond grant writing. The team supports founders with funding strategy, program matching, and hands-on consulting, while also managing the timelines, reporting, and coordination required to execute successfully. From shaping the narrative to ensuring every detail is delivered on time, they operate as an extension of the companies they support making appropriate introductions and helping to facilitate fruitful relationships with funding bodies.

Through their work, you’ll see a common thread: curiosity, care, and a deep commitment to impact. Whether they’re translating complex technologies into compelling narratives or identifying the right funding pathways, the team brings both technical expertise and human insight to every engagement.

Funding Catalyst isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. It’s a collaborative process grounded in understanding each founder’s story, goals, and growth trajectory before building the strategy and materials needed to secure the right capital at the right time.
