The project life-cycle
Our Services
Business plan writing
Some people can pitch an investor with a 5-slide deck and raise $1 million before lunch. But that’s a one-in-a-million proposition. The rest of us have to articulate our ideas, in complete sentences, with a logical concept development.
Our specialised writers have worked on both sides of the process. We’ve pitched ideas and we’ve analysed businesses. We have drafted and edited more than 800 business plans. We’d love to write yours as well.
Proposal writing
Need assistance writing a proposal for phase 1 or 2 of the EIC Accelerator? Not sure where to start? Let us help!
We know that the proposal-writing process can be daunting. That’s why we’ve spent years honing our craft and learning the specific details and requirements of each grant we work on. We’ll work with your pitch deck or business plan to draft a comprehensive funding proposal.
Workshops
Learn everything you need to know about EU funding schemes for startups! Fundtra offers online workshops and masterclasses on fundraising, grant writing, editing, and more.
We love to share our experiences with our clients and offer targeted training options to help them succeed.
Evaluations
Our expert fundraisers will evaluate your proposal, identify areas needing improvement, and fine-tune every section before submission. We approach proposal writing like a fine art. Every last detail must be in place before the painting is finished.
Crowdfunding
Do you believe in the power of the crowd? We do. Since 2015, Fundtra has worked with crowdfunding campaigns across Europe.
More than just funders, a crowd includes your ambassadors, evangelists, loyal customers, donors, and returning visitors. Fundtra helps you to understand and leverage your crowd. With your crowd, you can fundraise, undertake, build, and make.
Our Method
Fundtra employs a 5-step process in crafting and submitting grant proposals:
- Understand. We start by listening to you. We want to understand what your business needs, draw up a map for your business plan, and identify key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Research. Next, we go to work. We conduct sophisticated research on the current state of the market and your company’s place within it. We then draft a 3-5-year financial plan.
- Write. Following research, we compose a 15-page first draft of the proposal for you to review. The draft is only finalized following your review, feedback, and permission.
- Design. With the text finalized, our professional graphic designers will polish and stylise the business plan to compliment your branding.
- Finalise. Finally, we submit the finished product. But a fundraiser’s work is never done! We’re happy to continue advising you on leveraging your business plan to generate results and funding.
