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 funded development 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, including 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 do not qualify, but because they do not know which ones to target or how to frame an application that lands. We do.
04
Between us we have raised more than €8M in EU funding across Horizon 2020 and other European programmes. They are 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 funded six-week engagement that takes you from idea to working AI prototype, with a production roadmap included. Up to $25,000 of funded development work for proof of concept builds on AWS.
06
Up to $100,000 of your product built and paid for by AWS. For early-stage startups earning between $12,000 and $500,000 a year that are building something new on AWS. Funded build and migration work delivered through our approved development partner, with Inside Startups finding and qualifying the founders before handover.
