Challenges
Late funding kills innovation
A prolonged search for capital can render a breakthrough product outdated before it reaches the market
Investors demand too much
Interested investors or funds often offer financing in exchange for a disproportionately large equity stake
Lack of clarity on how to find and secure a grant
The team understands the technology, but lacks experience in identifying suitable funding programs, crafting applications, or working with donors and how to report
Solution
How we work
Знаходимо гранти під ваш проєкт — безкоштовно
Ми вивчаємо вашу розробку, розбираємось у суті проєкту та бізнес-моделі. Потім проводимо точковий пошук по понад 40 актуальних програмах фінансування в Європі та Україні і підбираємо ті, де справді є шанс перемогти – наприклад: «три актуальних програми в Польщі та Чехії на розробку з TRL5 для рішення з автономності дрона». Ми пояснюємо плюси, мінуси, строки, вимоги до продукту, TRL та компанії.
We don’t charge for this. Our principle is simple — the client has the right to clearly understand what he will buy
Беремо на себе всю роботу по залученню
We treat the grant application not as a formality, but as a structured, evidence-based case.
We shape the narrative, calculate the budget to maximize funding potential, compile the documents, handle submission logistics, and manage communication with the donor.
You focus on the product — we focus on the grant
We don’t review someone’s applications — we build the case from scratch and take it through to the result.
We support you after the grant is awarded
We prepare donor-compliant reports, plan future tranches, and help you to meet all donor requirements.
Winning a grant is not enough — it has to be implemented effectively
Ready to explore your project's funding potential?
We’ll identify 1–3 relevant grant programs that match your technology, TRL stage, and target country — free of charge. Filling out the brief takes 5–8 minutes. No confidential details required — just the essence of your project.
It’s free. No obligation. Real expert

Typical requests from Founders and Teams
Ми працюємо з інноваторами, які створюють технології, що змінюють галузі. Переважно це діптек стартапи та R&D-команди на етапі TRL 3–6. У багатьох із них наявні кошти закінчуються, проте вони не хочуть давати надмірну частку інвесторам
Request 1: R&D → market
“We’ve built a prototype, but need funding to finalize it, certify it, and launch pilots.”
We identify grants for TRL 6–8 scale-up and structure the submission as a phased development plan.
Request 2: Innovation without losing equity
“We have a breakthrough AI system, but investors either don’t get it or demand 40% before validation.”
We prepare a strong grant application focused on scientific novelty and impact — without equity dilution.
Request 3: Defence-tech without grant experience
We have a tech team and a defense-use idea.
But no experience with grants or consortia.”
We join as your grant coordinator: scouting programs, preparing submissions, and handling compliance.
Request 4: Want more grants
“We’ve just won our first grant — but the next ones are more complex. We want to go bigger, to EU-level.”
We map out a multi-stage grant growth strategy: local → European → EDF / Horizon Europe.
Request 5: R&D done – what’s next on grants?
“We’re a B2B hardware startup. R&D is in place, but we’ve only heard about grants at conferences.”
We start with a free assessment, walk you through relevant funding options, and show what’s realistically within reach.
Team
“We don’t just write grant proposals — we help deep-tech breakthroughs become real-world solutions that transform markets and strengthen the world”

Testimonials
Without Navion would give up to the investor a considerable stake - everything was already going that way, or the deadline would have been missed. Andriy and his team closed all the bureaucracy - the grant was approved without any special questions. Plus, it became clear the real amount of work with information and documents in order to actually qualify for such funding
We constantly invest in development, so we are constantly short of funds. We saw the website of Andriy's team, read it, evaluated it, and decided to try it. We worked a lot together on the application, but I don't regret the time spent – we've got the grant
We were looking for money for a long time. I came across Andriy and his team. I tried it - and didn't regret. We both worked on the application - provided everything required from us. So the hard part is behind, starting to finalize our solution
The team supported our technical project and helped prepare for the EDF and EIC Horizon grant competitions – maximum involvement in the funding process
I highly recommend Andriy as a reliable fundraising partner who is truly interested in the growth of Ukrainian technology teams

True innovation and usefulness
We attract grants to those who brings true innovation into the world and with it – true value to people
Readiness to co-invest in your project
Гранти для бізнесу дуже рідко покривають 100% бюджету. Ви маєте бути готові до співфінансування власним коштом 25-40% прямих витрат вашого проєкту
Grant scouting
— free of charge if you're the right fit
Fill out a short brief — and we'll show you which grants you have a chance of receiving
- We work with TRL 3–7
- We select manually, not by bots
- We explain everything in PDF + online meeting
The more clearly you describe your project, the better we can match you with relevant programs and provide meaningful feedback.
Filling out: 5–8 minutes
Free of charge. Answered by an expert, not a bot.
Time is a resource too
Grant programs have deadlines. Preparing a strong application takes 4–6 weeks
You’ll need 5–8 minutes and the next grant window may be six months away
Case: Autonomous navigation for drones. TRL 5 → TRL 7. Grant: UAH 8 million (Brave1) for 5 months.
We provided full support: analysis > application > money > reporting
