Problem: 42% of startups fail because they run out of funding not because the money doesn't exist, but because finding it is a full-time job buried inside a job that already has 27 hats. A founder in Detroit spends two weeks opening seventeen browser tabs across MEDC, Grants.gov, Crunchbase, and outdated newsletters, only to miss deadlines, hit dead links, and discover they qualified for something that closed yesterday. 38% of founders spend over 30% of their week just fundraising. That time is code not written, customers not talked to, companies not built.

Solution: Trestle is an AI-powered resource discovery engine that replaces those two weeks with two seconds. A founder types "what grants are open for a pre-revenue mobility startup in Detroit?" and Trestle parses their intent, location, stage, need type, then scrapes live sources in real time and returns ranked results with fit scores, next steps, and verified links. Under the hood, an AI agent continuously monitors hundreds of sources, so when a new grant drops at noon, the founder knows by 12:03, not next Tuesday. Trestle doesn't serve stale directories. It tells founders what's actually open, right now, and what to do about it.
