Mountain Lakes Student Partners with Parsippany Economic Development Committee to Launch Grantly, an AI-Powered Grant Discovery Tool

Grantly, an innovative AI-driven platform, launched in Parsippany to assist small businesses in securing grants tailored to their needs. Created by Anikait Sota, a Mountain Lakes High School student, the platform collects personalized data about a business, such as size and industry, to recommend relevant grants. A unique autofill feature streamlines the often tedious grant application process. Local entrepreneurs can reach out for assistance through the Parsippany Economic Development Committee, which has collaborated closely with Sota on this initiative. Frank Cahill, the committee's Chairman, emphasized the project's role in enhancing access to capital for local businesses.

Early feedback has been positive, indicating a strong community interest in the tool. Grantly is expected to expand its offerings and continue attracting small business users across Morris County. This initiative represents a significant step toward fostering a supportive environment for diverse entrepreneurs in Parsippany.
