In the heart of Europe,
with a finger on the pulse.
We are an interdisciplinary team with extensive know-how in funding consulting, innovation management and project management. With our broad network of industry, research and financing partners, we bring together development-driven and growth-oriented players.
18 years of experience.
A clear sense of who we are.
Founded by Dr. Pablo Berger in response to a simple observation: innovative projects rarely fail because of the idea. They fail because of the financing.
One person became a team. The first ZIM applications grew into complex collaborative projects with seven-figure funding volumes.
What has not changed: we work professionally and on a success-based basis. The team is well attuned, determined, curious and friendly. We intend to stay that way.
What you can expect from us,
and what you cannot.
We are honest when a project is not eligible for funding. We make no promises we cannot keep. And we only earn once you have earned.
Success-based
We are paid only when we succeed. No advance, no flat fee, no hidden costs. We share the risk.
Client-focused
We know what our clients expect from us and we always strive to deliver.
Fair
If a project is not eligible for funding, we say so. We advise honestly, even when it does not win us a mandate.
Reliable
Well-rehearsed processes, clear responsibilities. When we commit to a deadline, we keep it.
