What is OpenBcon?

OpenBcon is a self-hosted platform for teams that help businesses find and secure funding. The community edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later; commercial licensing is available for private deployments, proprietary modifications, and white-label or OEM distribution.

Core workflow

1. Browse grants, loans, and other active funding programs.
2. Assess a program's fit for a company in Discovery and save a shortlist.
3. Create or restore an application and complete its company and funding context.
4. Use Quick Build to validate the brief.
5. Generate a Strategic Report from administrator-configured sections, agents, prompts, document types, and layouts.
6. Review the business analysis and 36-month financial forecast, then reopen it later from the application.
