What Our Clients Say
GrantTree played a pivotal role in helping Amphibio secure more than £300,000 in funding through Innovate UK’s Smart competition. This is the third grant GrantTree has helped us to win.
GrantTree had the technical expertise to translate our ground-breaking technology into a winning grant application that received £100,000 of government funding for our business.
We’ve used GrantTree for a number of funding competitions now and we’ve always been very impressed with the quality of their proposals. Their process is quick and easy.
Thanks to the input we received from GrantTree's experts we were able to submit a much stronger application that unlocked the funding we needed to take our disruptive service to market.
Grant Tree have specific insights into the funding assessment process which helped align my funding application strategically to meet the expectations of the assessors.
I really could not have got the document to such a good place without GrantTree's input and support. They even went the extra mile by picking work up out of hours to get the job done!
The grant has allowed us to recruit two new staff member and accelerate our product development. I have no doubt that the insight that GrantTree provided led to us being awarded the grant.
