$340 billion in development incentives is left unclaimed every year.
We started IncentEdge because we watched it happen, project after project. The federal program nobody on the team knew about. The state grant whose deadline slipped. The local abatement that was not pursued because it was "too small to bother." Multiplied by every project, every quarter, the gap is staggering.
The incentive landscape is vast, fragmented, and deadline-driven. There are 4,700+ active programs across 54 jurisdictions in the U.S. alone. They change every legislative session. They have idiosyncratic forms, inconsistent eligibility rules, and post-award compliance that stretches a decade.
Most development teams handle this with spreadsheets and tribal knowledge. The result: a fraction of available capital actually flows. The teams that do best are not smarter — they are just better organized.
IncentEdge is the system that gets every project organized. Not advice. Not a deck. Software that runs the workflow, end to end, with an institutional system of record underneath.
Six operating principles.
System of record, not advisory
Consultants charge by the hour. Software runs continuously. We charge a platform fee plus a small success fee on captured value — aligned, durable, and inspectable.
Statutory text is the source
Every program in our database is verified against the underlying statute, regulation, or NOFO. Citations on every claim. No marketing copy from agencies.
Audit trail by default
Time-stamped submission receipts. Document version history. Read-only auditor seats. SOC 2 Type II since year two. Built for the day someone asks "how do you know."
Capture, not coverage
A long list of programs you might qualify for is a distraction. We rank, score, and stage so your team works on the dollars that actually close — in deadline order.
AI assists, humans decide
We use models to draft, summarize, and surface. Every applied claim is shown with its source and ready to be edited. No autonomous filings. Ever.
Boring on purpose
This is institutional infrastructure. We optimize for legibility, accuracy, and uptime — not novelty. Our changelog is short on purpose.
Five years, six numbers.
