"When it comes to securing public funds to elevate your business to the next level, a lot of people really don't understand what being strategic means at all. And so, one of the pitfalls we see with people who are unsuccessful with grants is that they were never really a good fit for that grant to start with, or they weren't ready. They didn't have their evidence in place. They started writing the grant a couple of days before it was due. So, we say you really want to be strategic.”
