LayerCapLAYERCAP
The Capital Architecture Layer for Social Infrastructure

The reason your project won't pencil isn't the grants you haven't found.

It's the stack you haven't designed.

LayerCap makes you an informed client with a capital stack strategy. Consultants bill for the relationships they bring. Whatever your size, the strategy work is in the same software. The work that makes a project pencil gets done either way.

Most teams chase grants. The ones whose projects get built design the whole stack: every funding layer, every covenant, a pro-forma that holds. That work used to live in a consultant retainer priced at six figures. Now it lives in software, end to end.

Match programs. Design the stack. Model the pro-forma. Draft the applications. Track the covenants. The work a capital architect would do for your project, available to you and to the partners you bring alongside.

Capital architecture used to be a privilege. We're making it standard infrastructure.

The Problem

The grants aren't the bottleneck. The architecture is.

Affordable housing projects do not fail because the grants weren't found. They fail because the capital stack underneath was never designed. Five or six funding sources were chased in parallel, each with their own eligibility constraints, draw conditions, reporting cadences, and use restrictions. By the time the team realizes two of them won't stack, the timeline has slipped, the construction window has closed, and someone is writing the post-mortem.

The architecture work, the part where someone sits with the financial model and asks "does this hold for ten years under the actual covenants we're about to sign," is what separates projects that pencil from projects that don't. It is the thing your consultant has been doing for years. It is the thing your competitors are paying six figures to access.

It is what LayerCap puts in your hands.

How LayerCap Works

Six steps from project to funded.

01
Tell us about your project
Region, asset class, units, mission. One form, structured from the start so the platform knows what to match against.
02
Match programs
303 programs across 18 countries and 22 funding layers, filtered to your project shape and eligibility.
03
Design the capital stack
Layer grants, loans, incentives, tax credits, and equity. Stacking rules respected. See where the gaps are before you start applying.
04
Model the pro-forma
17 North American markets pre-loaded with construction costs, rents, vacancy, tax rates. Full 10-year cashflow, DCR trajectory across the stack.
05
Draft the applications
7 major Canadian, US, and UK funders pre-calibrated. Three output tiers from express summary to comprehensive narrative.
06
Track the covenants
Reporting cadences, restrictions, deadlines, milestone disbursements. Alerts when something is due.

Match. Stack. Model. Apply. Track. The whole arc, in software.

Frequently Asked

Questions before booking a call.

How is LayerCap different from Grant Connect?+
Grant Connect is a funder directory; users browse thousands of Canadian funders. LayerCap is project-first: you describe the project, and the platform matches funders, designs the capital stack, models the pro-forma, drafts applications, and tracks covenants. Different problem, different shape.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on your organization size and what you need. Book a 30-minute intro call and we will talk through fit and pricing together. No surprise charges, no annual lock-in.
Do you replace consultants?+
No. Consultants bring relationships, advocacy, and judgment that software cannot. LayerCap makes you an informed client so consultant engagement is sharper. The strategy work is in the software either way.
How safe is my project data?+
Every project is scoped to your organization with row-level security in the database. No cross-tenant data access, ever. Authentication is multi-tenant from the foundation up.
What if my project is small?+
LayerCap supports projects from 6 to 600 units. The same five funding layers and covenant logic apply. Small projects often have fewer funding options but more leverage from getting the stack right.
Is LayerCap Canada-only?+
No. The program database covers Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, Australia, and New Zealand. Current pilot focus is Canadian provinces nationally, but the data layer supports broader deployment.
