Strategy
Which programme, which call, and when. We match your venture to the instruments that fit its stage and plan the route from one application to the next.
Services
Grant coaching for deep-tech founders
Your coaches lead the strategy and the writing, and review your application the way a jury will. AI does one job here: finding the calls worth your time.

What we do
02
Writing, led by your coach
Your coach leads the writing with you, on the page: the story, the impact case, the work plan. You bring the venture; we shape the proposal around what evaluators score.
03
Reviews from the jury’s perspective
Before you submit, your draft is read the way an evaluator will read it, and the gaps are fixed first. GrantShip is led by Cynthia Jurytko, an EIC Accelerator Jury Member.
Where AI comes in: the Grant Matcher sources open calls across Switzerland and the EU. It does not write your proposal.

Questions
Before you start
Do you write the proposal for us?
Your coach leads the writing with you. Lite includes coaching and one major submission (Innosuisse, including its Start-up Innovation Projects). Boost adds full proposal drafting for Horizon Europe and other major calls, plus all reviews and resubmissions. See the plans for what each includes.
Where does AI come in?
Only in finding calls. The Grant Matcher reads open calls and matches them to your venture. Strategy, writing and reviews are done by your coaches.
What is the Innosuisse SIP?
SIP is Innosuisse’s Start-up Innovation Project: funding for a science-based innovation project of a young Swiss start-up, typically run with a research partner, without taking equity.
How does the success fee work?
Lite and Boost are a monthly subscription plus a small success fee on the grants you actually win — 5% on Lite, 4% on Boost. We only earn the fee when you do, so our incentives are aligned with getting you funded. Exact terms are agreed when you sign up.
