Built for deep tech
Hard science is our home turf
GrantShip is tuned to how evaluators judge frontier technology — not generic startups.
What you get
Not a vague score. A reviewer’s verdict.
Your report breaks the proposal down across the dimensions a real panel scores — then lists the exact weaknesses an evaluator would flag, each with a concrete fix you can apply before you submit.
- A 0–100 fundability score with a one-line verdict
- Sub-scores for Excellence, Impact, Implementation & fit
- Prioritised weaknesses — most damaging first — each with a fix
- The best-fit programs for your proposal
Fundability review
ExamplePromising core, but the impact case won’t survive panel scrutiny yet.
Strength
Genuinely novel approach vs. state of the art, backed by a working prototype at TRL 5.
Weakness
highMarket size is asserted, not evidenced — no bottom-up TAM or reference customers.
Fix: Add a bottom-up TAM/SAM/SOM with sources and 2–3 named design partners.

FAQ
Questions founders ask first.
Can AI really assess a grant proposal?
It reviews the things evaluators score on paper — novelty vs. the state of the art, evidence of impact, feasibility, team and program fit — and flags where your proposal is vague, unsubstantiated or off-mandate. It is a sharp first-pass reviewer, not a substitute for a human jury. That is exactly why Lite and Boost pair it with coaches who have sat on the real panels.
Is my proposal confidential?
Your text is used only to generate your review and is not used to train any model. We do not publish or share it. The free review is email-gated so we can send you a copy and, with your consent, follow up about coaching — nothing more.
Which programs does it cover?
The review benchmarks against the mandates and TRL expectations of Switzerland and Europe’s flagship deep tech programs: Innosuisse, the EIC Accelerator, Swiss Innovation Park (SIP), Horizon Europe and Eurostars.
How much does it cost?
The review is free, with no signup and no card. Coaching plans (Lite and Boost) are paid subscriptions — see the pricing page for current details.
How accurate is the score?
The score is an honest, evaluator-style estimate of fundability — deliberately not a cheerleader. Treat it as directional: a low score tells you what to fix before you waste a submission, and a high score still benefits from coaching to push it over the line.
Do I need to finish my proposal first?
No. Paste whatever you have — an executive summary, a project description, or a full draft. The more detail you give (problem, innovation, team, market, milestones), the sharper the review. Short inputs get a lower, clearly-caveated score.
What happens after the free review?
Nothing automatic. You get your report on screen and by email. If you want help fixing the weaknesses, Lite adds coaching and a guided submission, and Boost is done-with-you drafting and resubmissions until you win.
