Public work from the studio.

• Live product. Accounts, profiles, matches, saved grants, admin verification, and a public catalogue that only shows what an admin has checked.
• Honest matching. Category and country come from the account — student, founder, small business, organisation, farmer — not a generic dump of every listing on the internet.
• Deadlines that move. Countdowns are calculated from stored close dates, not typed in as “2 days left” forever.
• A Lagos studio behind it. RareCapital Media is CAC-registered in Nigeria. Esse Obayando is founder and sole proprietor. The product is already public, not a slide.

The bottleneck is not another landing page. It is keeping the catalogue true when grants open, close, and move every week. That work is still partly manual. Capital buys the layer that should never have been manual.

• Paid grant APIs, watched by software. Official feeds — United States grants.gov, EU funding programmes, foundation and development-bank listings that name Africa — pulled on a schedule instead of pasted in by hand.
• A specialist model on top of those feeds. Not a chatbot that invents a grant. A classifier that reads eligibility, country, category and close date, then files only what an African applicant can actually use.
• Weekly Africa scan. New calls from agencies, corporates and programmes that still announce on X and on their own sites, scored and queued for human verify before they go public.
• Applicant-grade alerts. When a verified listing matches a saved profile, the person hears once — not a marketing drip.
• Institution seats. A hub, campus, or accelerator running GrantReach for its cohort instead of a shared spreadsheet of dead links.
• A public good that can carry a studio. Free discovery stays. Paid depth — API access, institutional dashboards, verified-alert volume — funds the catalogue so the public side does not rot.

Programmes that back African builders look for a registered entity, a founder who ships, and a product people can open today. RareCapital Media has the registration. GrantReach is the proof of shipping. The next grant is not to start. It is to stop doing the catalogue by hand and put paid data plus a specialist model on a product that is already live.

Funding here does not invent a company. It widens a tool that already serves students, operators and founders who cannot pay an agency to hunt capital for them.

This page is the shelf. When another public product is ready, it is added here. Nothing is invented to fill the grid.
