The MMA hosted a webinar on Feb. 3 with Syncurrent, a government technology company and MMA featured service.
Syncurrent’s online platform, available to all 351 Massachusetts municipalities, makes it easy to identify, qualify for, and pursue state and federal funding opportunities.
In the webinar, Syncurrent co-founder and CEO Dhruv C. Patel demonstrates the company’s platform, which loads a list of eligible opportunities at the state and federal levels in one place, avoiding the need to search large databases.
Patel reviewed how to look through each opportunity to find its application requirements, posting date, award ceiling, and other key details. A chatbot is embedded into the dashboard for asking clarifying questions about each opportunity.
Users also have the ability to invite colleagues within the same municipality to collaborate on the same application.
Syncurrent co-founder and Chief Product Officer Matthew Jaquez moderated 30 minutes of questions and answers, addressing inquiries regarding the platform’s data sources, whether it includes private foundation grant opportunities, and how Syncurrent interacts with state grant portals.
