We know the grant jungle

As entrepreneurs, we have already invested countless hours ourselves in searching for grants and writing applications. We know exactly how tedious and time-consuming this process is.

StartMatch AI is the solution


Our goal is to give you a shortcut. With StartMatch, you save time, avoid frustration, and can focus on what really matters: advancing your core business.

We don't offer you a generic AI tool, but technology specifically developed and trained for grants, with the know-how from countless programs, guidelines and successful applications.
