Why It's Hard

EU funding exists for your project — but the application process wasn't built for entrepreneurs

That's exactly why we exist.

01

Hundreds of programmes, zero clarity.

Not knowing which of 200+ EU programmes fits your project is the #1 reason SMEs miss out on funding they qualify for.

02

200+ hours per proposal — with no guarantee.

Internal grant writing consumes 200–400 person-hours per application. Horizon Europe success rates average 10–15%. The EIC Accelerator sits at 5–8%.

03

You shouldn't have to choose between building your company and funding it.

Grant management pulls founders away from what matters. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.

EU Funding Landscape

€95 billion in EU funding is available. How much is yours?

Every node represents a real programme. Every orbit represents a different funding tier. Most SMEs don't know where to start — we do.

Inner orbit€500K–€2.5M

EIC Accelerator, Horizon Europe

Middle orbit€150K–€1M

Digital Europe, LIFE, Eurostars

Outer orbit€2K–€200K
