Grant Kickstarter Bootcamps
For Innovative Businesses looking for Grant Funding
From our experience, many businesses miss out on grant funding because it can be confusing to know where to start. Typically the Innovate UK Smart Grant is a popular grant, but there are so many more options available for your business. It's knowing what to apply for, when the right time is and having a good project fit. This course offers insights to these valuable strategies to ensure grant funding works for your business.
Our Grant Kickstarter Bootcamps are intensive, but are a day worth investing in as you’ll:
-
Avoid the steep learning curve of grants while you’re applying for them.
-
Understand what innovation means to help you generate ideas for genuinely innovative projects.
-
Be ahead of other companies applying, as you’ll have given yourself and your team enough time to consider the right grant, do the preparatory work, and have those important conversations with partners.
-
Have better quality information to put into the grant application itself so you can focus on getting the submission to a high standard.
-
Leave feeling sure that you want to apply for a grant by understanding the mistakes other companies make during and after the grant process.
- Learn from the comfort of your own space as our upcoming bootcamps are online.
