Who we are

Venturenomix was created as a Europe-wide strategic consultancy that helps you shape, develop, plan and, crucially, fund your research and innovation projects. We have built a team of innovation consultants with deep knowledge of the non-dilutive funding landscape across Europe and the experience to write winning funding proposals.

From Co-founders Mareike and Alex

This is our third innovation funding business together, and we have come a long way since 2008. My key learnings are that really experienced consultants deliver consistently high quality results, and, that a motivated team underpins everything else.

With Venturenomix, we have brought the best people from our 20+ years in business with us – our team is now amongst the most experienced across Europe in the innovation funding domain. Crucially, we are aligned on wanting to work with businesses and research teams that are seeking to have a positive impact on people and the planet.

This is a new era of grant writing – AI is disrupting every single sector – and the change is invigorating. We are seeing new funding calls designed to manage the exponential increase in AI-written applications, we are exploring use cases for AI in our day to day work to add real value to our clients, and we are seeing new business models in our grant writing sector.

We founded our first business in the UK in 2008, right in the middle of the global financial crisis, while our second business was based in Germany and had to navigate the Covid pandemic. Venturenomix is our hybrid innovation funding consultancy, bringing together all our experience and learnings – we are ready for the disruption and excited to be part of it.
