Grant management software and implementation services
Agate Software sells IntelliGrants, a web-based grant management platform used by over 120 public-sector and nonprofit clients across 34 states, paired with implementation and training services. The hiring mix—skewed toward engineering and product roles with accelerating velocity—reflects a shift from pure services toward product-led growth; simultaneously, active projects around automation, training infrastructure, and Salesforce customization signal internal scaling challenges typical of a services-to-product transition.
Agate Software, based in Okemos, Michigan, is the US affiliate of IGX Solutions. The company developed IntelliGrants in 2001, positioning it as the first web-based grant management solution. IntelliGrants serves government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions managing complex grant workflows and compliance. Beyond the core platform, Agate offers implementation, training, and ongoing support, including lifecycle management and custom development. The company also maintains legacy versions of IntelliGrants for existing customers while supporting broader grant administration automation for IGX Solutions and third-party clients.
Agate's core stack is .NET, C#, and VB.NET on the backend, with SQL for data, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (Bootstrap) on the frontend. HubSpot and Salesforce handle CRM and business operations.
IntelliGrants is used by more than 120 clients across 34 states, primarily in the government, nonprofit, and higher education sectors.
