Non-dilutive capital · EU and national programmes
Raise without giving up equity.
Grant applications, drafted continuously from what you already have. Grants8 checks every open programme against your profile and tells you which few are worth applying for. You review and submit. Your IP stays yours.
Trusted by organisations securing public funding
You already qualify. You're just not applying.
Public funding isn't hard to win because you're not eligible. It's hard because the process is fragmented, opaque, and built for teams with a dedicated grants manager.
Discovery eats the calendar
Opportunities are spread across national and EU portals, each with its own format, deadlines and rules. Finding the ones you fit is a research project in itself.
One formal error ends it
Applications run to tens of pages against criteria described differently on every platform. A missed eligibility rule disqualifies the whole submission.
The fee lands when you win
The usual alternative is a retainer of €2,000 or more upfront, plus 5% of the award taken as a success fee, which the grant itself can't legally cover. On a €1M award that is €50,000.
How it works
From a document you already have to an application you can submit.
Upload a document you already have
A deck, a project description, an earlier application.
Grants8 matches you to eligible programmes
Scored against the criteria evaluators actually use.
Draft applications are prepared
Structured around how submissions are assessed.
You review and submit
On your own terms, in your own time.
Your existing documents do the work
Upload once. Grants8 reads your project, your team and your stage, and finds what fits.
Applications built to be approved
Every draft is structured around how evaluators actually score submissions.
No retainer. 0.5%, not 5%.
A consultant charges €2,000+ upfront and 5% of the award. On €1M that is €50,000. Ours is €5,000.
Why businesses choose Grants8
Coverage past any one specialism, at a fraction of the fee.

What to expect
Grants8 does the heavy lifting, not the judgement calls. Worth knowing before you start:
- Drafts are a strong starting point, but they need your review before you submit.
- Not every grant is a strong match. We'd rather rule one out than waste your time.
- The clearer the document you upload, the better the matches and the drafts.
Your documents
What you upload is unpublished R&D. We treat it that way.
A pitch deck or a project description is commercially sensitive long before it becomes an application. Nothing you upload is used to train models, and nothing is shared with other customers.
