Overview

What is OpenBcon?

OpenBcon is an open-source AI workspace for funding consultants, business advisors, incubators, accelerators, and economic development teams. It brings funding discovery, business readiness, application tracking, and document generation into one configurable workspace.

The project is designed to be self-hosted and extended. The community edition is available under AGPL-3.0-or-later; commercial licensing is available for private deployments, proprietary modifications, white-label/OEM distribution, and implementation support.

Core workflow

  1. Discover grants, loans, and other funding opportunities.
  2. Save an opportunity and build an application workspace.
  3. Capture the company profile, business context, and funding request.
  4. Use Quick Build to review the brief before generation.
  5. Start a Strategic Report through the configurable Advisory Hub.
  6. Generate report sections using configured agents, roles, prompts, and document types.
  7. Build a three-year, monthly financial forecast.
  8. Review, edit, export, and share the resulting package.
