Strategic R&D Funding, Simplified
Is your team burdened by day-to-day operations, leaving your innovative ideas underdeveloped and unfunded? Small to medium-sized enterprises often struggle to secure strategic grants because they lack the time to not only write a strong proposal but also fully define and structure their R&D vision.
I solve this problem. Leveraging my background as a Technical R&D Manager (including a PhD) and a track record of VLAIO approvals, I step in as your strategic partner. My value lies in refining and solidifying even non-concrete concepts into a robust, fundable technical roadmap.
The result? You bypass the internal bottleneck, minimize your team's time investment, and transform nascent ideas into a compelling, approved VLAIO dossier—securing hundreds of thousands of euros for your most ambitious phase of growth.
Startup coaching & innovation
Does your organization—whether a dynamic scale-up or an established market leader—find it challenging to transform promising technical expertise into new, diversified revenue streams? Many successful businesses get anchored in their core offering, needing a strategic catalyst to identify and validate new business models and non-mainstream products.
I offer flexible coaching services—ranging from intensive workshops to comprehensive business reviews—designed to quickly diagnose and unlock innovation potential across your company. My service can be a one-time review or workshop, or a longer, more intensive trajectory.
Leveraging my technical and strategic background, I help your team set the right focus, transforming ideas into a clear, scalable roadmap for your next profitable venture.
