search_funding_programsAnswer
Search for real, currently-open funding programs (grants, fellowships, non-dilutive funding) for a founder or builder, with a focus on flagging which ones plausibly don't require a registered legal entity. Runs a live Google Search (via SerpApi) or, for US federal questions, a live grants.gov API search, then has Gemini review only the real results returned - every claim is cited to a real source URL, nothing is invented.
