About Impact Funding Europe

Impact Funding Europe is a Collaborative European Grant Writing Consultancy dedicated to enabling smart and climate neutral collaborative impact projects. They offer an end-to-end Grant Writing service as well as stakeholder management and community building.

Together We Solve

Venturenomix have completed a 3 year consultancy project with Impact Funding Europe, helping to put in place all the elements needed to launch and sustain a new Collaborative European Grant Writing Consultancy.

We worked closely with the founders of IFE, Peter Schottes and Olaf-Gerd Gemein, from the point of winning the first grant (written by Venturenomix) to prove the concept, through to establishing a funded grant writing team.

Successful Outcomes

Impact Funding Europe now have multiple successful collaborative European R&D grant successes, led by the work carried out by Venturenomix, working closely with the founders. Over the three-year period, we delivered:

  • Funding: Runway of 2 years cash-flow funding
  • Team: Recruitment and training of key staff
  • Systems: Digital systems and templates to ready the business for scaled growth
  • Customers: On-boarding of the first 200 customers from across Europe
  • Success: Securing the first 3 Horizon Europe grants worth over €10m in funding and over €500k in success fees to IFE
