As entrepreneurs, we have already invested countless hours in searching for grants and writing applications. We know exactly how tedious this process is.
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 a service specifically developed for R&D grants - with the ideal mix of AI technology, security, and human expertise.
Robert, Oliver & the StartMatch Team

We simplify grants

Robert built Luke Roberts, a Viennese high-tech startup he sold in 2021. Along the way he wrote countless grant applications himself and got to know the funding jungle from FFG to aws first-hand. Today that experience is built into every detail of StartMatch.

Oliver is a software expert who has already built innovative and secure systems for banks and FinTechs. At StartMatch, he leads the development with the ambition to make grants so simple that the applications almost submit themselves.

Michael is our expert for R&D and innovation grants from FFG, aws, and all regional funding bodies. With over 7 years of experience, he creates tailored grant strategies and guides you safely to a successful submission.

Full-Stack Developer
Jakub is a full-stack developer with years of experience in TypeScript, React, and Next.js. He builds the heart of the StartMatch platform - from the grant search to the application editor. Hardly a feature hasn't passed through his hands.
AI Agent
Matchy is our AI agent and the most hard-working member of the team. It scans hundreds of funding programs, finds the right calls, and helps write convincing applications. But humans always have the final say.

External Expertise
We work with a network of experienced grant experts and consultants. Whenever we believe a project can benefit from their expertise, we bring them into our customer projects. That way, you always get exactly the know-how your application needs.
