We work with deep-tech startups to secure EIC and Horizon Europe funding — starting with an honest diagnostic of where you stand and exactly what it takes to compete.
Every founder's situation is different. We meet you where you are — whether you're starting from scratch, already have a draft, or have been through the EIC process and need to understand exactly what happened.
You have strong technology and are preparing your first serious EIC application. We start with a full readiness diagnostic and build the strategic conditions that make a proposal winnable before a single word is written.
You have a Step 1 or Step 2 proposal in progress — or a rejected application you want to rebuild. We audit it against EIC evaluation criteria and tell you precisely what the evaluator will penalise and why.
You passed the written stage but the jury didn't select you. This is the most recoverable outcome in the EIC process — and the most misunderstood. We diagnose exactly what failed and build the resubmission case.
Most EIC applications fail not because the technology is weak — but because the positioning, narrative, and Union Support argument weren't built to survive evaluator scrutiny. We fix that at the foundation.
A structured diagnostic session maps your real fundability across every EIC scoring dimension — innovation depth, market credibility, team strength, EU strategic fit, and the Union Support argument most applications get wrong.
We translate your technology into the language EIC evaluators are trained to reward — building a dual narrative that satisfies the technical expert and the investment jury simultaneously, in the same document.
We build and submit the application with you — proposal blueprint, keyword strategy, annex architecture, and full jury preparation. We stay through evaluation, interview, and the decision.
The EIC Readiness Check is a free 8-question diagnostic built on the criteria EIC evaluators actually use. You'll get an instant tier result and a detailed breakdown of your weakest area — the one most likely to cost you the application.
Two screening questions surface disqualifiers immediately. Six diagnostic questions map your fundability across every EIC scoring dimension. Under 5 minutes.
Your tier result — Early Stage, Building the Case, or Close to Ready — appears on screen the moment you submit. No waiting, no email required to see it.
Enter your email to receive a detailed explanation of your weakest scoring dimension — the exact area an EIC evaluator would scrutinise first — with a link to talk it through.
We are opening 8 diagnostic places to founding cohort founders at a pilot rate. A structured session. One comprehensive report. An honest picture of your fundability before you commit to an application cycle.
The EIC Readiness Diagnostic begins with a structured working session with your founding team. During the session, we gather the evidence required for evaluation and assess your venture across five critical dimensions of fundability, resulting in an independent EIC Readiness Report with clear findings, risks, and recommendations. The diagnostic fee is credited in full toward any subsequent engagement.
Your report assesses five critical dimensions: Technology Readiness Level (TRL) Verification · Market Architecture · Team Credibility · Commercialisation Readiness · Union Support Potential. The outcome is a clear, evidence-based picture of your EIC readiness, together with practical recommendations for strengthening your application.
We are accepting a maximum of 8 companies for this pilot engagement. Standard rate applies after the cohort closes. You must be actively considering an EIC application in the next 12 months to qualify.
To apply for one of the 8 places, complete the application form using the link below. We'll review your submission and confirm eligibility in 24 hours.
Global Alignment EU was built on one premise: EU policy is a lever, not an obstacle. Most EIC applications fail not because of weak technology but because of wrong positioning. We operate at the foundation layer — building the strategic conditions that make a proposal winnable before a single word is written.
