The old way vs. The EU Fund Portal way
Stop waiting for PR announcements to find dealflow.
Traditional Sourcing
- Lagging Indicators: Relying on tech blogs, PR announcements, or Crunchbase to see who just raised money (too late).
- Manual Scraping: Paying analysts to manually scrape CORDIS or TED, resulting in dirty, unmapped data.
- Missed Signals: Completely missing national-level awards in France, Spain, or Italy because of language barriers.
Proprietary Sourcing
- Precursor Signals: Reach out the day a startup wins a highly-competitive €5M European Defence Fund grant.
- Clean API: Consume normalized, translated, structured data directly into Affinity or your quant models.
- Full Pan-European Coverage: We monitor 50+ sources across 32 countries, including local national innovation funds.

Investor FAQs
How early are these dealflow signals?
Public procurement and R&D grants are often the earliest public signal of a company's technological maturity. A startup winning a €2.5M EIC Accelerator grant is usually 6 to 12 months away from raising their Series A. We let you track them immediately.
Can we integrate this data into our CRM?
Yes. With the Enterprise API, you can pipe our Winners Feed directly into Affinity, Salesforce, or your proprietary dealflow scoring models.
Do you cover defense and dual-use tech?
Yes. We track the European Defence Fund (EDF), NATO DIANA, and national defense procurement awards (like the French BOAMP), making it easy to spot dual-use deep-tech winners.
