Identify
Find the right programs
We assess which funding lines fit your project, location and stage of development.
Most teams know one program. Most eligible projects fit two or three.

What we do
How we secure your funding.
We translate technical or scientific innovation into approvable applications and see them through to payout.
Maximum funding, minimal effort.
Our funding process
Identify, Apply, Comply
Apply
Define the project clearly
We separate eligible development from non-eligible activities and build the application around that scope.
Approval depends on how the project is defined, not on the wording.
EligibleDevelopment of the abstraction layer
Not eligibleSales and onboarding
Comply
See it through to payout
We structure evidence and drawdowns so the path from approval to payout remains clear.
We build timesheets and usage reports to stand up to every audit.
