Research Initiative
Help Us Build Better Funding and Proposal Technology.
At Apex, we believe the organizations navigating funding and procurement processes every day should have a voice in shaping the tools designed to support them.
We are conducting market research among nonprofit organizations and small government contractors to better understand their challenges, identify gaps in existing technology and develop practical software solutions that address real needs.
Your participation helps Apex develop practical technology solutions based on the real needs of organizations like yours — not on assumptions about how funding and procurement work.
Each study has its own short questionnaire. Choose the one that fits your organization. Participation is voluntary.
For nonprofit organizations
Nonprofit Funding Research
How your organization finds grant funding, assesses eligibility, prepares applications, manages deadlines and tracks funding opportunities.
For small government contractors
Government Contracting Research
How your business identifies government contracts and procurement opportunities, analyzes RFPs and RFQs, manages compliance and prepares proposals.
Early-access interest
Participants may express interest in testing future early-access versions of tools developed through this research. Expressing interest does not guarantee access; any early-access opportunities are subject to selection and availability.
