Alien’s grant funding service is uniquely designed to support high-risk companies in attracting public innovation funding and private investment. Since 2014, we have helped convert hundreds of innovative projects into successful business ventures. We focus on small and medium-sized enterprises that want to compete in ambitious and highly selective programs such as the European EIC Accelerator and the US Federal SBIR/STTR Program
We study the proposed innovation project and assess its suitability for public funding schemes. We deliver a complete report on the attractiveness of the project, available funding opportunities and recommended project financing strategies.
We develop a clear roadmap for each specific funding opportunity, and guide the application process from conceptualization to submission.
We assess the business model and revenue streams, and develop complete financial projections. We outline the go-to-market strategy on the basis of solid market and competition data. Specifically for SBIR/STTR grant awardees, we help them access and use government Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funding to commercialize their innovation.
We craft project proposals for the most competitive innovation funding programs, with a specialization in the European Innovation Council (EIC) within the Horizon Europe Framework Program, as well as the SBIR/STTR – the most competitive research and innovation federal funding program in the USA.
We support clients in establishing long-lasting and fruitful relationships with trusted partners in our network.
We take care of the project management and reporting obligations, ensuring compliance with the funding program requirements, so that innovators can stay focused on developing their business idea.
We help companies become investment-ready. We assess company valuation, prepare a complete investor package and support companies through the due diligence phase. Specifically for EIC Accelerator winners, we facilitate the securement of equity financing by giving access to our network of investors to match the EIC equity proposition.
