What Submit.com does

Submit.com is a Cork, Ireland-based SaaS company founded in 2013 by Patrick Dinneen that provides cloud-based submission management software primarily for government agencies, universities, foundations and nonprofits. The platform covers the end-to-end lifecycle of online submissions — from application intake with eligibility and branch logic, through blind or collaborative review with weighted rubrics, to multi-phase approvals, authenticated e-signatures, Stripe-based payment collection, and post-award reporting — built on AWS green-hosted infrastructure with role-based permissions, full audit trails, multilingual support (English, Irish, Welsh, Polish), an Environmental Impact Calculator, and ancillary capabilities such as VideoQ video submissions.

The company's commercial model is annual SaaS subscription across three tiers: Starter at €5,995/year (up to 1,000 applicants) and Pro/Enterprise tiers with negotiated pricing for unlimited applicants, SSO/SAML, multiphase submissions, and dedicated account management. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting government councils, universities and large foundations with event-driven demand generation (Socitm Presidents' Conference, LGPN North), a Socitm community partnership established February 2026, and listing on the UK Government G-Cloud Marketplace for public-sector procurement. The company is privately held by its founder and co-founder, with no disclosed external funding and a leadership team that has been deliberately expanded in 2025–2026 with a CRO, Head of Growth and Head of Customer Success to support UK/EU expansion advised by former Irish Tánaiste Simon Coveney.

Submit.com cites 500–1,000+ mission-driven customers, 10,000+ programmes processed globally and a 99.9% customer retention rate. Named customers include the Government of Ireland, Westminster City Council, Suffolk County Council, Cork City Council, Dublin City Council, Enterprise Ireland, University College Cork, Oregon State University, the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. SOC 2 Type II certification (achieved May 2026, audited by Thoropass), GDPR compliance and G-Cloud Marketplace listing underpin its public-sector sales motion in Ireland, the UK and adjacent European and North American markets.

Directly comparable on form building, review workflows, and the public sector / nonprofit customer segment, with the brand and distribution of the wider SurveyMonkey platform behind it.

Broad incumbents

• SurveyMonkey: Broader survey and form platform whose SurveyMonkey Apply product competes directly with Submit.com in the application management niche. Much larger platform with broader reach and brand, but more general-purpose and less specialised in the grant/award workflow.

Regional players

• Good Grants: Grants management platform founded in the UK and Australia. Closest geographic peer to Submit.com, serving funders and governments in UK/ANZ with similar grant application and review functionality, and a more limited vertical breadth.
