Where we can help
01
We have strong relationships with grant programmes run by major technology companies — including programmes that fund AI prototype development and larger follow-on grants for scaling on enterprise cloud infrastructure. In the last three months alone we have helped more than 20 companies secure prototype grants worth around €25,000 each. If you are building with AI and need infrastructure to prove it out, this is the fastest path to non-dilutive capital we have seen.
02
We have secured grants ranging from €50,000 to several hundreds of thousands through Web3 ecosystem foundations and blockchain partners. If you are building in decentralised infrastructure — DePIN, real-world assets, tokenisation, or supply chain — we have the network and the track record to help you access funding that most founders never find.
03
We have secured national funding grants ranging from €50,000 to €300,000 with agencies across Europe and the US. These programmes are underutilised — not because founders don't qualify, but because they don't know which ones to target or how to frame an application that lands. We do.
04
We have raised more than €8M in EU funding across Horizon 2020 and other European programmes. Competitive and process-heavy — but transformative for the right company at the right stage. We know what evaluators are looking for and how to position an application that gets taken seriously.
05
A fully co-funded six-week engagement that takes you from idea to working AI prototype, with a production roadmap included. Up to $25,000 in AWS credits. No upfront cost. No equity given up. We qualify founders and manage the process end to end.

Investor fundraising
Grants are one part of the funding picture. For founders who are ready to raise from investors, we bring a network built over two decades across AI, SaaS, blockchain, and deep tech — and the operating experience to help you position, pitch, and close.
We've supported multiple clients through fundraising rounds at pre-seed, seed, and Series A stage. Our involvement typically covers investor narrative and positioning, introductions to relevant investors from our network, and support through the process to term sheet. We work on a retainer plus success fee basis — so our incentives are aligned with yours.
If you're preparing to raise and want to understand how we work, get in touch.
