Before you book
- Is the call really free?
- Yes. The consultation is free and there is no obligation. If we do not think a grant is the right route for you right now, we will say so on the call.
- Do I need a finished proposal or plan?
- No. Most founders come to us with a technical idea and a rough timeline. We work out the fit, the right funder and the realistic submission window from there.
- Will my technology stay confidential?
- Yes. We treat everything you share as confidential and are happy to sign an NDA before the call if you prefer.
- What if I am not sure I am eligible?
- Run the eligibility checker first, then book. Either way we will pressure-test eligibility properly on the call.
