DeReticular, – Grant funding for experienced subject matter experts who feel there is a better way.
We match these SMEs with Technical Thought Leaders in fields like Digitization of workflows, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Decentralized Public Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), Then using AI, submit to 139 potential Grantors.
DeReticular. Adjective. De-re·tic·u·lar De-ri-ˈtik-yə-lər. : of, relating to, or forming a Decentralized Network.
What are the biggest opportunities for leveraging these decentralized networks to drive sustainable development?
Disintermediation leads to workflows with higher marginal efficiencies.
Sometimes (Almost Always) Disintermediated workflows (Decentralized) become 1,000 times quicker and 100 times less expensive. In a Capitalistic Economy, these new workflows become disruptive to the incumbent workflow.
These Disintermediated workflows have unique barriers. Overcoming these barriers has become the current big opportunity. The biggest barrier is the communications network. Building a network, of decentralized trusted nodes. Decentralized Public Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), more importantly, Trusted Decentralized Public Infrastructure Networks is where the opportunity is today.
Simultaneously, we have thousands of AI coming online. Each simultaneously with its own communications needs. DePIN networks answer a lot of the needs Large Language Models need to spin up and then operate long-term.
The biggest opportunities for leveraging these networks for the most part lie in creating and leasing assets in DePIN networks.
The cost of intelligence is plummeting. The value of Human ingenuity in applying these new resources will now skyrocket.

- Defining our purpose clearly, addressing the problem and timing, Why now, not later?
Change is in the air, and you can feel it buzzing around us. AI is set to transform every aspect of our lives, promising a revolution that touches us all. Today not just a few but thousands of Large Language Models are coming online. Each simultaneously has its own massive computing, storage, and communications needs. Some of these needs are supplied through Decentralized Public Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) which currently provide Decentralized Storage, Compute, and Communications for AI operations Globally. These networks provide for a lot and maybe most of the needs that large language models require to spin up and then operate long-term. Currently, the biggest opportunities for leveraging these networks lie in creating and leasing assets in DePIN networks.
However, real opportunity will arise once these networks are in place. Integrating these technologies and interfacing these technologies with the general global population will become one of the most substantial Global undertakings we as a species have ever attempted.
Industry Specifics
Focusing on a single vertical or industry is inefficient as it limits the sharing of developers and progress between different areas. The AI global rollout will encompass every sector.
Our organization facilitates commercial exposure to technical advancements across all industries worldwide.
Integrating these technologies requires specific expertise and deep understanding on both sides of the integration. Specific industry expertise and relevant AI expertise. Our organization includes Subject Matter Experts (SME) with decades of experience in multiple sectors, who share a common belief that there is a better way.
Including but in no way limited to Public Security, Desaster preparedness, Supply chain, Transportation, Insurance, Agriculture, The Environment, Sustainability, Healthcare, Aviation, Green Energy, Recycling, Energy transport, Energy Storage, Aviation, Security, Cyber Security, Customer Experience, Investing, Venture Capital, Customer service, and so much more.
We team these SMEs with Technical Thought Leaders (TTL) in AI, Compliance, and digital workflows.
These Technical Thought Leaders have decades of experience in technologies such as but no way limited to, Business Development, Designing Decentralised Public Infrastructure Networks and DePIN hardware, integrating Communications across disciplines, Tokenization, Blockchain, DLT, Zero Knowledge Proof, KYC, AML, including KYC AML at Zero Marginal Cost (Free KYCAML), Government Blockchain, Municipal Blockchain Design and implementation, Quantum Resistant Design and implementation, Supply Chain, Industrial Maintenance, Proof of Location via Proof of Proximity (Non-Satalite Global Positioning), Named Data Networking, Interplanetary File Systems, Digital Workflows, Digital Twins, Generative AI, Algorythms, AI in general, Finance, Telecom, and so many others.
Currently, we are setting up a dynamic grant-writing team that will leverage AI to enhance and streamline our journey from pitch to commercialization. Get ready for a more efficient and impactful AI-augmented process that maximizes award potential!
Our organization is becoming known as DeReticular. The corporate structure is undefined at this time. Capitalization will dictate structure soon.

Grant writing team
Currently attempting the Automation and AI Augmentation of hundreds of Grant Awarding Systems (There are over 1 thousand)
Grants are difficult to get approved,
Is DeReticular a beacon of hope?
Grants are denied for several reasons
- Giving priorities
- Grantmakers have their own impact goals, and proposals that align with those goals are more likely to be funded.
- Quality of the proposal
- Grantmakers want to ensure that grantees can administer funds effectively.
- Following guidelines
- Proposals that don’t follow the guidelines for content, format, or length are often rejected.
- Lack of a Clear path to commercialization
- Across most Grantmakers, the most common reason behind a denial is a lack of a clear path toward commercialization.
DeReticular starts with a commercialization opportunity supported by the Subject Matter Expert who provides this clear path to commercialization. This eliminates the most common reason for denial.
From here we add AI experts to the mix, who propose an AI integration that is commercially viable. Next, we create a Business Plan, then we feed the collected data to an LLM which curates Grant application content. The application is submitted and updates are processed as requested by the grantor.
Our Grant Platform Systems advantage lies in details most might be overlooking according to Sequoia Capital.
Here’s how it works:
1. Define your company’s purpose with clarity.
2. Address the problem with insight.
3. Present your solution as a beacon of hope.
4. Time it right; why now, not later?
5. Map out the market; show your understanding and potential.
6. Outshine competitors by highlighting your edge.
7. Detail your product like the masterpiece it is.
8. Explain your business model; make it compelling and clear.
9. Showcase your team; the architects of your vision.
This isn’t just about numbers or graphs. It’s about creating a narrative that makes investors feel at home with your vision.
Normal Grant approvals are in the 20% range. By including commercialization at the start, and employing AI for plan and grant submissions. We anticipate approvals higher than 20% maybe in the 40% range.
There are more than 1,000 different grant programs across federal grant-making agencies awarding more than $500 billion annually. Maybe we could get better than 50% approval from multiple grant portal submissions. Especially if this workflow was automated and AI-augmented.
Since we have a dedicated Grant Team in an AI-added, automation-enabled environment we feel we can get to the point where we are submitting multiple grant requests monthly starting in 2025.
DeReticular currently has more than 30 Grant Application Subjects, with a Subject Matter Expert ready. Industries vary between Target Market Segments like Critical Response Technologies, Emergency management agencies, First responders, Public safety organizations, Disaster preparedness units, Public Sector Technologies, Municipal governments, State agencies, Federal departments, Public service organizations, Healthcare, Well Care, Insurance, Investments, Green Energy, Energy Storage, Transportation, DOD, DHS, and many others.
An example would be Critical Response Technologies Founder and President Frank Harper. Frank is the Subject Matter Expert for multiple grant applications. Among them is the issue of interagency communications. This grant is focused on commercial opportunities for a Secure Shared Intelligent Interagency Communications system with a heads-up display identifying things like an active shooter, rioter, Federal Agent, State Agent, or other agency assets.

Another example would be Barry Wade and Guardian Technologies. For years Guardian has been working with schools that distribute tablets. There is a contingent liability for a school when students share inappropriate images, such as private body areas, on a tablet that the school owns. Guardian X Technologies stops that communication. Barry has been working on this project for over 20 years. Barry while blind, has become an expert in various methods of deciphering the difference between a Hot Dog and a male student’s appendage over time. There are various stakeholders interested in the service today. Barries idea is to apply for a grant to train an LLM to do that for his commercial audience.
Barries Linkedin Profile
Another great example is Grant’s writing. Michael Noel has been working on reporting for ALL Grant results, not just positive results since the 90s.
Grant reporting is a legal requirement for organizations that receive grant funding. It’s a process of providing the grantor with regular updates about how grant funds are being used. Positive results are reported and published. Negative results well they may report, they may not, and rarely, do those negative results get published.
Tracking DeReticular work and then adding those results to the DeReticular LLM, including the work product and the work done during development, as well as performance metrics from the MVP. This LLM will help other DeReticular shareholders avoid dead ends that others have already explored, and extracted negative results from.
This helps DeReticular stakeholders
- Show accountability: Demonstrate that the organization is responsible for the funds received
- Build relationships: Strengthen the relationship with the grantor and increase the chances of future funding
- Assess effectiveness: Help the grantor evaluate the effectiveness of the grant
- Ensure compliance: Ensure that the organization is following the terms and conditions of the grant

Tracking Airplane forms 8103 -3 Arrow.
In the last decade, most of the big U.S. airlines have shifted major maintenance work to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and China, where few mechanics are F.A.A. certified and inspections have no teeth.
There are 731 foreign repair shops certified by the F.A.A. around the globe. How qualified are the mechanics in these hundreds of places? It’s very hard to check. In the past, when heavy maintenance was performed on United’s planes at a huge hangar at San Francisco International Airport, a government inspector could easily drive a few minutes from an office in the Bay Area to make a surprise inspection. Today that maintenance work is done in Beijing. The inspectors responsible for checking on how Chinese workers service airplanes are based in Los Angeles, 6,500 miles away.
Lack of proximity is only part of the problem. To inspect any foreign repair station, the FAA first must obtain permission from the foreign government where the facility is located. Then, after a visa is granted, the U.S. must inform the government when the F.A.A. inspector will be coming. So much for the element of surprise—the very core of any inspection process.
The fact that Inspections have had the heart torn out of them should come as no surprise. It is the pattern that has beset the regulation of drugs, food, and everything else. Each industry with several areas worthy of an SBIR to study and build an MVP around tracking and making sense of the Global Industrial Maintenance Complex and the supply chain.
Industrial maintenance is the process of keeping a facility’s machinery, equipment, and processes in good working order. It’s also called plant maintenance. Commercial improvement of industrial maintenance would serve to:
- Increase uptime
- Reduce equipment failure
- Improve reliability
- Control costs
- Ensure assets run at peak operating order
- Deliver high-product quality
- Meet production quotas
Mapping out the market understanding and market potential.
There are multiple tranches of revenue and multiple opportunities for
monetizing IP.
Revenue Streams
1. 20% of the Grant Success-Based Compensation
2. Equity Participation in some Grant Awardees New Co
3. Licencing revenue
4. Commissions revinue
5. Consulting Revenue
6. Advisory Services Revenue
For instance, this plan illustrates engaged shareholders who have created a clear path to 10 Phase 1 Awards and 10 Phase 2 awards in 2025. This tranch of revenue looks like this,
Financial Projections (2025)
– 10 Phase 1 awards ($150,000 each): $1,500,000
– 10 Phase 2 awards ($2,000,000 each): $20,000,000
– Total projected Grant funding: $21,500,000 – 2025
80% goes directly to the DeReticular Teams led by the SME. Specifically to produce the architecture and build the MVP.
20% Goes directly to DeReticular to cover operations.
No EBIT, just the value of commercializing 20 million AI research dollars with no debt,
That is if we receive the necessary support in the coming weeks. As you know not much happens without Capitalization. We anticipate startup costs in the 10k to 50k range and are currently looking for sponsorship or active investment in the form of a convertible note.
The value here is in the IP, Equity, and participation in multiple Commercial Operations which will be formed from 20 million dollars in AI research conducted by Subject Matter Experts and Technical Thought Leaders.
The cost of intelligence is plummeting. The value of Human ingenuity in applying these new resources will now skyrocket.
-Michael Noel
This could be Billions.
The method of IP Protection and distribution is still being created. Parties providing Capitol will surely be stakeholders in any decisions. The legal team forming should be able to comment within the coming weeks.
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) SBIR program, also known as America’s Seed Fund, awards over $200 million in research and development (R&D) funding to around 400 startups each year. The NSF’s SBIR program funds startups and small businesses in almost all technology areas and market sectors, except clinical trials and Schedule I controlled substances.
SBIR Grants are not the only grant or award program we will be submitting to. There are more than 1,000 different grant programs across federal grant-making agencies awarding more than $500 billion annually.
The total Technology award count for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 was 143,468. For FY 2022 the award count was 146,717. For FY 2021, the award count was 135,564.
The market size for Artificial Intelligence Worldwide is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2030) of 28.46%, resulting in a market volume of US$826.70bn by 2030. In global comparison, the largest market size will be in the United States (US$50.16bn in 2024).
The crypto research firm Messari estimates that the DePIN market could grow from $2.2 trillion to $3.5 trillion by 2028. DePIN’s integration with AI and IoT could drive innovations and operational efficiencies in industries like healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Outshine competitors by highlighting your edge.
Eagle Point Funding, a grant consulting company, has awarded nearly $2 billion in grants to clients. Eagle Point is part of FreeMind Group, the world’s largest grant consulting company, which has raised over $1.5 billion in awards.
Eagle Point Funding and its sister companies, including FreeMind Consultants, Argentum, and Sunrise Projects, have been helping clients since 1999. Their clients are located in North America, the EU, Australia, and Israel.
There is a model here that is very successful obviously. Our differential advantage lies in deal flow and velocity.
Eagle Point charges 50k upfront. We have SMEs that become part of a paid development team with no upfront fees. This low barrier to entry provides DeReticular with a differential advantage in velocity and deal flow. This advantage is leveraged with automated AI-added submissions to hundreds of Grantors.
Detail your product like the masterpiece it is.
While we are not as large as Eagle Point we are more nimble. Most probably they have teams working on upgrading their process to include AI. Our Tech Stack will be AI native and a thousand times quicker than the Eagle Point system. Our small group could quickly become more capable of more successful grant submissions to more grant award sources at a fraction of the cost in capital and time.
Our model closely follows standard industry best practices. Our differential advantage comes from our native use of AI, specifically Generative AI. Generative AI offers an opportunity to completely reinvent workflows — and will spawn a new cohort of companies that are not just AI-augmented, but fully AI-native. These companies will start from scratch with the technology we have now, and build new products around the automation, generation, editing, and composition capabilities that are uniquely possible due to AI. See also the GenAI Disrupts Traditional Technologies” report by Gartner, Inc. Here Gartner projects that, “By 2026, 60% of network operations personnel will rely on GenAI for Day 2 management, up from less than 5% in 2024.”
Multiple DeReticular, Native AI, and DePin architectured organizations will be capable of dominating industries globally, aka Unicorns.
Explain your business model; make it compelling and clear.
Protecting IP, Capitalization, and MVP development is time-consuming and expensive. DeReticular due in part to its Generative AI capabilities and the SME team, provides all of this, in months not years, and with zero debt.
