Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are an EU-based deep-tech startup at a late R&D / pre-commercial stage (~TRL 7–8) with early commercial validation. We are looking for a specialist to help us apply to the EU EIC Accelerator (single-applicant, blended finance) — starting with the short proposal, then the full proposal and jury interview. (Eurostars may be a secondary option.) Scope Funding-fit assessment; short proposal (form + slides + 3-min video); full proposal (impact, TRL logic, work plan, budget, FTO support); and interview preparation. Must-have experience Demonstrable EIC Accelerator (single-SME) applications you personally led — with wins, ideally under the 2025/2026 work programme. Comfort with deep-tech / hardware projects. To apply, please answer directly: How many single-applicant EIC Accelerator proposals have you led, and how many were funded (2025/2026)? 1–2 EIC Accelerator client references. Your deep-tech / hardware experience. Do you cover the full path, including jury interview prep? Fee structure (fixed / success / hybrid) and rough cost. Please do NOT apply if your focus is Innovate UK, consortium-only grants, or pitch-deck design only. Full company and project details will be shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.
