Grant funding support, from someone who has been in your shoes
I help innovative companies win UK and European funding. I've seen grants from every side: as a founder winning my own, as a senior consultant leading applications at a major grant consultancy, and now running my own consultancy. I shape the project, support consortium building, and write the application, so your team can stay focused on the business.
