Grant Applications

Expert support for winning non dilutive grant applications (e.g Innosuisse)

Navigating grant applications can be complex and time-consuming, requiring deep knowledge of funding criteria, innovation positioning, and proposal structuring. Our team helps startups, researchers, and businesses craft compelling applications, increasing their chances of securing funding. With expert guidance, you can focus on innovation while we handle the intricacies of the grant process.

Our unique approach

We provided end-to-end support for clients applying for competitive grant programs, such as Innosuisse’s Start-up Innovation Projects. We streamline the application process, ensuring proposals meet the highest standards of clarity, impact, and compliance.

Scope of Service
We support clients from initial project conceptualization to final submission, offering tailored strategies to maximize success. Our expertise covers technology, science-based innovations, and market-driven proposals. We support initial applications as well as re-applications.

Activities & Methods

  • Grant Readiness Assessment: We evaluate the project’s eligibility, innovation potential, and strategic fit with grant requirements.

  • Decline Investigation: We can support you to get explanations and background for a past decline in order to address the shortcomings in a re-application.

  • Proposal Structuring & Writing: Our team drafts, refines, and optimizes (non-scientific) content, ensuring a persuasive and compliant application.

  • Financial Planning & Budgeting: We document clear, well-justified financial plans that align with funding criteria.

  • Reviewer Perspective Analysis: Using a funder’s perspective, we enhance key sections for clarity and persuasiveness.

  • Compliance & Formatting Checks: We ensure adherence to submission guidelines, eligibility criteria and improving professionalism and completeness.

  • Pitch & Interview Preparation: For shortlisted applicants, we offer coaching and mock evaluations to refine presentations.


Approach
Our structured, milestone-driven approach integrates deep sector expertise, collaborative iteration, and continuous alignment with grant evaluators’ expectations. We balance technical precision with compelling storytelling, ensuring applications stand out.
