Intelligent Software for Mission-Driven Organizations

Software

We build AI-powered tools for nonprofits, EdTech organizations, and social impact leaders — and we make them freely available. Not as loss leaders. Not as demos. As genuine contributions to the sector we've spent 20 years working inside.

Each tool is production software solving a real problem. Each one also demonstrates what TDG builds when an organization needs something custom — a white-label version, an extended platform, or a full build from scratch.

If one of these tools fits a need your organization has — use it. If you want to explore what a version built around your specific context, strategy, or brand could look like, let's talk.

Funding Scout

AI that thinks like a strategic advisor, searches like a research team.

An intelligent funding search platform built for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. Funding Scout evaluates every opportunity across multiple dimensions — service match, strategic alignment, organizational fit — and explains its reasoning like a senior business development advisor.

Built from scratch using semantic AI evaluation and multi-dimensional scoring. What started as an internal tool to surface $200M+ in disaster recovery funding is now a production platform available to any organization that needs it.

A white-labeled version — Funding Nomad — is already deployed at Global Nomads Group. If your organization wants a version built around your specific strategy and funding landscape, that's exactly the kind of engagement we do.

Funding Scout is currently invite-only. We onboard new organizations through a short conversation to make sure the tool is set up correctly for your context from day one.

How It Works

01

Multi-Dimensional Scoring

Business Context Management

Define your business profile, capabilities, and goals once. The system uses this context to evaluate relevance automatically.

Conversational Query Building

Create search queries in natural language. No boolean operators, no keyword guessing—just describe what you're looking for.

Smart Prioritization

Automatically ranks opportunities so you focus on the best matches first, not endless scrolling through irrelevant leads.

The Interview Guide

Most candidates know their experience. Few know how to tell great stories.

An intelligent coaching tool that helps job seekers turn real career experience into polished STAR-format interview stories. Built for people who have the experience but need the system to communicate it effectively.

100+ behavioral questions from top companies. A STAR builder that scores and saves your answers. A mock interviewer that probes, scores, and lets you train the same story as many times as you need.

The Interview Guide is a public tool — free for any job seeker. It also demonstrates the kind of structured, intelligent coaching application TDG builds for workforce development organizations, reentry programs, and career services teams. We are actively exploring how tools like this can serve returning citizens and others who have the experience but need the system to tell their story.

Building a workforce development program? The Interview Guide demonstrates one approach to AI-assisted career coaching. If your organization runs workforce development programs and needs something built for your specific population, curriculum, or brand, let's talk.

How It Works

01

Question Explorer

A library of 100+ behavioral questions drawn from top companies, organized by competency. Understand what interviewers are actually probing for — which changes how you answer.

02

STAR Builder

Walk through Situation, Task, Action, and Result for any story from your career. The Guide scores your answer for completeness and saves everything, so you're building a library of polished stories over time.

03

Mock Interview

The AI plays interviewer, asks follow-ups, and scores your responses with practical feedback. Train the same story as many times as you need until the narrative feels like yours.

  • AI-driven follow-up questions
  • Per-response scoring and feedback
  • Unlimited repetition to build confidence
04

Progress Tracking

Session history, scores, and competency coverage in one place — an honest picture of where you stand before the real thing.

  • Session and score history
  • Competency coverage map
  • Readiness snapshot before your interview
North Star Logo

North Star

Your brand system, built in 20 minutes. Free.

An AI-powered brand identity platform that turns a short intake and a 14-question personality quiz into a complete, professional brand system — color palette, typography, voice guide, AI-written copy, and three ready-to-use brand artifacts.

Most organizations operate without a brand system. Not because they don't need one — because building one used to require an agency and a significant budget. North Star changes that. Every output is generated from your specific inputs, not a template. Every color choice is reasoned. Every word reflects your personality.

The result: a Brand Bible, an AI Context Card, and a launch-ready HTML landing page — in under 20 minutes, at no cost.

Organizations that want to go further — a custom-designed identity, extended brand collateral, or a white-labeled version of this tool for the communities they serve — that's the kind of engagement we do.

North Star is free for any organization. For teams that want to go further — a fully custom brand identity, extended collateral, or a white-labeled version of this platform — let's talk.

Built something for your sector?
So have we.

Every organization we work with came to us with a specific problem. We showed them what was possible. Then we built it for their context. If you have a problem your team doesn't have the bandwidth or expertise to solve, that's the right reason to reach out.
