what our clients think of us

“C*Funds has helped us during our pursuit for SME2 funding. During that period C*Funds has shown in-depth knowledge of the application process and provided excellent input enabling us to improve our proposal. C*Funds has showed added value all the way and is well recommended.”

Dave Hoogendoorn, Partner

OpenAware

“C*Funds platform is really a powerful system to properly implement the application for the EU Grant. In addition Katalin is really smart and very helpful during the whole proposal development. Absolutely recommended and fundamental for any start-up looking for support with EU funding”

Massimiliano Formenti, Director

Stephenson Academy

“Katalin and Diana at c*funds were absolutely incredible during our proposal development process. Both show clear expertise in this area and were able to give us strong guidance in how best to position our project. They were also extremely efficient in the writing process and helped us pull together a very strong proposal in a very short time frame. Would absolutely recommend them to any startup looking for support with EU funding.”

Devan Hughes, Co-Founder & CEO
