Funding and investors: a story that stands up to scrutiny
Funding is opening up for defence and space, but investment committees and public programme evaluators are receiving more applications. We help companies present their project in a clear, verifiable and distinctive way: investor decks, financial stories, and the communication and dissemination section of EU applications.

What funders look for
| Funder | What they assess | What to show them |
|---|---|---|
| Investment fund | Market, growth, team, exit | A short story, milestones reached, a quantified trajectory |
| Bank | Solidity, order book, governance | Contracts, visibility, compliance |
| EU programme | Excellence, impact, implementation | A precise, measurable communication and dissemination plan |
| Public innovation agency | Value for the mission, technology readiness | Use cases and a credible roadmap |
What we deliver
- Investor story: problem, solution, market, model, traction, team, funding need.
- Deck and one-pager in English and French, with 3D visuals if the product cannot be shown.
- Investor page on your website and LinkedIn content for your leadership.
- Communication and dissemination section of EU applications, then delivery throughout the project.
Our experience
We have delivered communications for the EUDIS consortium supported by Starburst since 2025, with the contract renewed in 2026. With CNES, we produced Toulouse’s bid book to host COSPAR 2030, which won against international competition.
Our limits
- We are neither an investment bank nor a fundraising adviser: we do not source investors or negotiate.
- We do not write the technical or financial sections of an application: we structure, clarify and handle the communication section.
- No figure is presented unless it can be verified.
How we work
We work in two ways: per project, on a quote based on your brief, or as an ongoing partnership on a fee basis. For a first diagnosis, we offer a €2,500 audit, credited against the assignment if you go ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Is an English deck essential?
As soon as you target a foreign investor, a European fund or a consortium partner, yes.
How long does a deck take?
A few weeks if the business model and figures are settled.
Do you stay involved after EU funding is secured?
Yes, and that is the main part: the communication and dissemination plan has to be delivered throughout the project.
