omkarSearching good founding for my startup

"Motion " This company works harder than you. Conducts exam for Scholarship. You should do that. Also, your idea is very important. I also belong from middle class family. I have borrowed money from relatives to pay school and college fees. Idea is so good. My suggestion is also add exam features

Motion don't do this what granty does , the companies that operate exam conducting bodies often ends up favoring the merit or very poor students only, but aren't quite helpful for students from middle class. I had experienced it well what I said above, see I'm not much poor but quite decent earning family but paying up for the hefty fees needs to strecth alot, where scholarships could help us. This is story of almost every middle class family, who seek help to fund the studies, not because they can't pay by themselves at all but it's way too hard and unaffordable for them And these are the students we wanna solve for, but there most scholarships go for the operating model where they conduct exams and these favor only toppers but not the needies like me Few days back finally after so many applications, I've got approved for one and the person who came to my house for preparing verification report Said me one thing - we aren't gonna ask if you were topper or your family is really really poor but if you have come to us because you are in need of help and we gonna help you but we want you to value the chance we're giving you, you may not be in toppers but you gotta be working harder and doing better just to prove you were worth giving a chance "& they will be checking my academic performance every semister And me who's having a cgpa around 7-8, and thinks passing is enough so that I don't have to pay for re-exam again or write again the same exam, is now working harder to score 9+ cgpa I've really tried every way where I could get a scholarship and granty is what everyone needs, to solve whole thing!!

Such type of work earn only through Google ads and nothing .. even I know couples of site who do the similar thing and completely dependent on Google ads ... And one student can never be eligible for 10 -20 scholarship the number is limited to just 2or3 so students prefer to fill by themselves or in cyber cafe and few of them will fill through site... As of my POV it's revenue model is based on Google ads and nothing else

Yeah, it was a heated reply, I even use ad blockers for myself so seriously I'm not considering that, and even what granty does is different from what you said above , I've explained it all in other comments, please do check them out!!

Hey, I get that there are few websites out there like you said , but Granty is on a whole different level.And we aren't dependent on Google ads. If you had actually read the full description or checked out the other comments, you'd know that. Instead of just throwing out random comments, because I commented on your "Jal Seva" idea?that It's basically a copy of Muft Paani and Free Paani and other 5-6 startups.And seriously, cyber cafes for tech advice? Should have added "living in 2014" to your bio But hey, jokes aside, if you're genuinely curious about what Granty is all about, take a look at the other comments and read the description again. Still have questions? Check out Granty in the September showcase or just ping me!

Reading to the term scholarship in description, people often tend to assume we're just like the rest, but here's the difference I'm tired of explaining : What other platforms do is there you can find list of scholarship (only the popular ones) from which students can filter the one suitable/eligible for them, which pretty much every platform does same thing even I can do a simple Google search or now even chatgpt would give me a list of scholarship that I should apply to But are the problems with this : 1. Student has to go through all the scholarship description and requirement to basically evaluate the best ones which is a 2. Students could only apply to few scholarships manually (to solve this granty automatically finds and applies to all scholarships that a student is eligible for) 3. So what happens is students only apply to limited number of scholarships, so their Chace of cracking one gets limited (but using granty he could apply to more number of scholarship which in turn increases the chances of getting one ) 4. Even if he does all the application part by themselves, the followup process for multiple applications is again a daunting task (granty would simplify and manage all this for you) 5.there are no direct connection between the scholarship providers and the educational institutions, so the verification process takes up alot of time (we also aim to bridge this) With all this granty aims to make these things simpler , faster, better

There is a platform called buddy for study, they do the same thing. What's so special granty?

Buddy4Study is a platform where you can use pre-made filters to find scholarships. However, it has two main issues: 1. It doesn't feature regional-level scholarship providers. 2. Students have to repeatedly fill in the same details and endure long verification times. Granty simplifies this process: 1. Sign in to our platform. 2. Fill in the required details. 3. Upload necessary documents. 4. Our AI automatically applies to all eligible scholarships. 5. Receive assistance with additional verification, such as writing essays or recording videos. 6. By partnering with educational institutions and scholarship providers, we aim to speed up the verification process. You can checkout comment section of granty from September showcase to know more about that, and feel free to ask if you have any queries

No, there are few startups those are only to search and just filter the options but none of them solves the application part like what granty does
