Who we partner with
One capability. Two portfolio environments.
Innovation ecosystems
Accelerators · Incubators · Innovation hubs · Corporate programmes
Add funding diagnostics, office hours and application support to your founder or cohort offer.
The missing capability
Portfolio companies need more than investor capital.
Equity is not always the right capital for R&D, technology development or international expansion. Yet founders often discover public funding too late, pursue the wrong programme or have nobody accountable for the process.
A portfolio-level funding capability helps companies use non-dilutive finance where it makes strategic sense - while the investment team keeps visibility without managing another group of advisers.
We do not send generic grant lists. We assess fit, set priorities and support delivery.
What we deliver
From portfolio overview to funded projects.
01
Portfolio funding scan
We review selected companies, their plans and funding needs, then identify where non-dilutive funding could realistically support growth.
02
Company-level funding roadmaps
Each selected company receives clear priorities: suitable programmes, readiness gaps, timing, next steps and the right financing mix.
03
Grant and application delivery
Where there is a credible fit, we can lead project development, consortium building, application preparation and submission coordination.
04
Ongoing funding desk
We monitor relevant opportunities and support portfolio companies as an embedded external funding resource.
Commercial models
Choose how the service appears to your companies.
The right structure depends on your brand, portfolio relationship and how involved you want to be.

Questions
Before we talk.
Do you work only with EU grants?+
No. We look at the wider non-dilutive funding landscape, including European and national grants, R&D programmes, preferential loans and blended funding routes where relevant.
Can this be delivered completely under our brand?+
Yes. A white-label model is possible. We agree the client journey, responsibilities, communication rules and commercial terms before launch.
Do we need to enrol the whole portfolio?+
No. The best starting point is usually a small pilot with selected companies, a specific cohort or a defined investment theme.
Can you guarantee funding?+
No responsible adviser can guarantee an award. We qualify opportunities carefully, improve readiness and lead high-quality applications only where there is a credible fit.
How does revenue sharing work?+
It depends on the service, client ownership and level of involvement. We agree a transparent model before any introductions. Any arrangement remains subject to applicable professional and regulatory requirements.
