Private AI workspace · Built on your knowledge

Your organization already knows the answers. Now it can find them.

Groundcrew turns your documents, grants, policies, and know-how into a secure AI workspace your whole team can talk to — with purpose-built tools for the work you actually do. We set it up, train your people, and stay available to support your organization whenever you need us.

Live in as little as two weeks. Your data stays yours — never used to train public models.

Private by designYour documents live in your own secure workspace. Nothing is shared, sold, or used to train public models.

Weeks, not quartersA working version on your real documents in about two weeks — then modules grow with you.

People, not just softwareTraining, office hours, and hands-on support — always available when your organization needs help.

The platform

One workspace. Modules for the work you actually do.

Every module answers from your documents and speaks in your organization's voice — not generic internet answers. Start with the core; add modules as you grow. Click any module for the full story.

How it works

Audit. Build. Adopt.

We don't drop software on your desk and disappear. Every engagement follows the same three moves.

1

AI Audit

We sit down with each of your teams — real conversations, not surveys — to map how work actually happens and where AI genuinely helps. You get a phased, plain-English plan whether or not you continue with us.

1–2 weeks
2

Build & load

We stand up your private workspace, load your documents, and configure the modules from your plan. You review a working version on your real content before anything launches.

~2 weeks
3

Adopt & grow

Team training, monthly office hours, and usage reviews. As your people find new uses, we add modules, connect new data, and build custom tools on top.

Ongoing
Services & pricing

Start small. Grow when it earns it.

Founding-customer pricing is available for a limited number of organizations willing to help shape the platform.

Who it's for

Built for organizations that run on knowledge — and can't afford to lose it.

Two kinds of teams get the most out of Groundcrew on day one.

Nonprofits & foundations

You're asked to do more every year with the same staff. Groundcrew gives your team a knowledgeable colleague who has read every grant, every policy, and every report you've ever filed.

  • Grant tracking, drafting, and reporting deadlines
  • Consistent messaging across chapters and programs
  • Funder research without expensive subscriptions
  • Board and governance prep grounded in your documents

Networks & capacity builders

You exist to make other nonprofits stronger. Groundcrew gives your whole network one shared workspace — so every organization you support works from the same playbook and sounds like one movement.

  • One platform for all your members, priced for networks
  • Consistent voice and proven practices across affiliates
  • Turn your grant-writing training into a tool members use daily
  • See real adoption across your network, not guesswork
Who we are

You work directly with the people who build it.

Groundcrew is two founders, no layers, and no hand-offs. We're both in every engagement — the audit, the build, the training — with more than twenty years of experience apiece.
