Funding-Check

The public funding landscape is complex and often difficult for young companies – especially first-time founders – to navigate. As a result, existing funding opportunities are often overlooked or utilised too late. This leads to financial leeway remaining unused and strategic development steps not being supported.

The funding check provides a remedy here: a targeted analysis reveals which funding programmes are actually relevant and usable for the specific project. The results are translated into a structured funding strategy that takes into account the timing and content of the company's project.

The scope of services includes:

•    A one-hour check-in meeting to gather company-relevant data and determine the strategic direction
•    A subsidy search based on this information, taking into account company data and strategy
•    the compilation of a structured overview of suitable funding programmes,
•    the development of a time-coordinated funding strategy in which suitable programmes are classified along the planned development path to ensure combinability and accuracy of fit,
•    and a one-hour final evaluation meeting in which the funding options are jointly translated into concrete action steps for the next steps and prioritised.

Target group:

The funding check is aimed at companies in different phases:

•    Founders prior to start-up, for whom funding programmes – such as start-up grants – can be strategically considered and planned before the start of business activities.
• Early-stage start-ups that are taking their first steps in the market and want to extend their financial runway through targeted funding.
• Advanced start-ups that have access to a wide range of national and European funding, but whose utilisation requires in-depth knowledge and strategic planning in order to realise larger funding volumes.
