Why you need a funding strategy
Unless you’re as rich as Elon Musk, you’ll probably need a grant or investors to fund your commercialisation journey.
A staged funding strategy is essential on the long and winding road from idea to market, and for scale-up.
Since 2011, we’ve helped research organisations and innovative businesses secure more than $250M in grants and investment.
How we co-design your strategy
Our commercialisation experts will meet with your team to define and prioritise your funding needs.
Leveraging our extensive networks, we’ll find funding sources – government grants, angel investors, or venture capitalists – matching your objectives, activities, costs, timeframe, organisation type, location, and development stage.
We’ll produce a customised roadmap for your funding strategy, with a clear action plan for staged implementation.
If you don’t have one, we can help you develop a comprehensive business plan – the foundation of every successful funding request – based on solid market research. Then one of our experienced writers can hone your value proposition and craft a compelling grant application or investor pitch.
