Public funding can be a great source of financing for businesses and startups, but the process of applying for and securing this funding can be complex and time-consuming. That’s where I come in. Together with a team of freelancers we have the knowledge and experience to help businesses and startups navigate through the public funding landscape and identify the right programs to apply for. You get tailored support and guidance throughout the whole application process. With professional help, businesses and startups can increase their chances of securing the public funding they need to grow and thrive. Our mission is to level the playing field and provide tailored support to all businesses, regardless of size. We believe that every innovative project or business looking to build something new or improve their ways of working should have access to public funding. There are countless funding programs available in Europe, and we don’t think that these funds should only be accessible to larger businesses with dedicated departments specializing in obtaining public funding.
