Simplify's Take
What believers are saying

- The company said it surpassed 10,000 active funding programs in December 2025.
- NPO coverage reached 5,800 programs in May 2025, broadening addressable usage.
What critics are saying
- Grants.gov, Simpler.Grants.gov, and GOV.UK offer free funding search, crushing paid demand.
- Fundica depends on partner channels like TD, Visa, and Edmonton for distribution.
- If TD or Visa internalize funding search in 2026, Fundica loses core revenue.
What makes Fundica unique
- Fundica aggregates tens of thousands of programs and ranks matches by business profile.
- TD Bank and Edmonton embed Fundica without IT integration, lowering adoption friction.
- It combines grants, tax credits, loans, and loan guarantees in one workflow.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and their owners are the backbone of local economies worldwide. And they haven’t had it easy, not recently. That’s because they have to big needs: streamlined access to capital to expand their businesses and keep the lights on, and the real-time market intelligence and data to help them make the right decisions and inform their strategic planning. And with Hello Alice, announcing a new funding round to help propel its mission of connecting small businesses to capital, alternative SMB financing solutions powered by cutting edge innovations are now increasingly top of mind. “AI [artificial intelligence] … is helping us move faster with data sets to get capital to small businesses,” Hello Alice Co-Founder and President Elizabeth Gore told PYMNTS in an interview published Thursday (April 4), adding that there are “more small businesses launching in America than at any time in [Hello Alice’s] history.”
Small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) represent a puzzle that banks have long struggled to solve. SMBs need fast, flexible and digital-first solutions that help rather than hinder growth. However, their needs have been traditionally underserved by banking incumbents who view them as too small to warrant the tailored services afforded to corporates, yet too diverse to be addressed in a scalable way like retail banking clients. However, the inability of the market to meet SMBs where they are hasn’t stopped the business cohort from needing financing solutions and working capital products to power their operations. As financial institutions continue to tighten the spigots around their lending products for small businesses, observers are wondering whether innovations like open banking can help offer benefits for SMBs seeking improved financing solutions by drawing upon transaction data to streamline alternative decisioning models and provide new channels to better assess creditworthiness more rapidly
