Funding Navigator

Which grants and non-repayable funding could you get at your stage?

Enter your project, geography and stage. Get a map of funding routes worth checking now, what each programme funds, which costs are allowed, deadlines — and what to verify before applying. Every route links to its official source. Built from a base of 100+ non-repayable funding sources worldwide.

Every opportunity is linked to its official source and checked for currency every week. The Navigator shows what may be available — eligibility is confirmed by the funding body.

Collapse Risk Check

What has your project never settled — and is still carrying forward?

A project can grow with questions underneath it that were never answered. Collapse Risk Check reads what has actually happened in yours and draws the map: where the project stands, what has already held, what has accumulated unresolved — and what, from inside or outside, could turn that into collapse. Then one question to start closing it.

Around 7 minutes. You describe the project; the diagnosis is ours. One registration opens every Opportunity Lab tool.

Six risks · where each one stands
Product necessityAccumulated · Leading
The product does one job well and customers pay for it. Since last month a general model does the same job in one prompt. Nothing in the product yet makes it harder to leave.
Market evidenceOpen
Eleven paying customers, all from the founder’s network. Nobody outside it has bought yet.
Customer–result connectionHolding
Who it is for and what job it does are clear and were stated the same way twice.
Founder dependencyHolding
Customers get the result without the founder in the loop. Onboarding still goes through one person.
System under loadUncertain
The product runs without hand work for eleven customers. Untested under real volume.
Growth pressureNot tested yet
Eleven customers at one price point. Demand is not growing yet — too early to see which part of the company becomes the constraint.

AI Opportunity Finder

What could you build with what you already know?

Your expertise, your industry, the problems you understand better than most — that is the raw material for an AI company. The Finder works with it to show where your knowledge meets what AI now makes possible: directions worth investigating, and the questions to answer before you commit to one.

Be first to know

Noted. We’ll write to you once when the Finder is ready — nothing else.

We use this address only to send you that one message, then delete it — at the latest after 12 months. More in the privacy policy.

Deep Guides

The decisions that look obvious — and cost months.

Each guide takes one move founders make with confidence and shows what the evidence has to prove first. Read before you commit. Each ends with an audit to run on your own project.
