2-hour workshop

Decide what to apply for and when.
Then write it in the room.

A 12-month grant roadmap plus the front half of your business plan, written live — guided by someone who has reviewed applications from the evaluator's seat.

Deliverables

What you take home

12-month grant roadmapPSST business plan draftEvidence document checklistReviewer-perspective scoring sheetApplication calendar
What you walk away with

A calendar that tells you which programs to apply for in which month, and a written Problem–Solution draft you can adapt for each of them.

What this session does not cover

Ghost-writing your full application, or promises about selection results.

12-month calendar

Grant seasons are predictable

Applications fail on timing more often than on writing. Here is the yearly rhythm we map your plan onto.

JanMar
Preparation

Early-stage startup grants open

Company profile, financials and evidence documents are assembled here. Teams that start writing in March are already late.

AprJun
Peak season

R&D and commercialization programs

The heaviest application window. Reuse the PSST draft you built in the workshop and adapt it per program.

JulSep
Selective

Regional and agency programs

Smaller budgets, lower competition. The right window for first-time applicants to build a track record.

OctDec
Next cycle

Pre-announcements and next-year prep

Read next year's pre-announcements, fix the gaps the reviewers flagged, and lock your roadmap for the following year.

PSST

Four sections, four different jobs

Most rejected plans repeat the same content in all four. Each section has to do its own work.

Problem

State the problem as a number, not an adjective. 'Inefficient' is not a problem statement.

Solution

Show that your approach is the only reasonable response to that number.

Scale-up

Connect the market to your own capacity, not to a global market-size chart.

Team

Prove the team can execute this specific plan, not that it has impressive résumés.

Two-hour agenda

More time writing than listening

0:000:25

How a plan is read from the inside

What a reviewer looks at, in what order, and how long they actually spend on your document.

0:251:05

Build your 12-month roadmap

Map the programs you qualify for onto a calendar and mark the three you will actually apply for.

1:051:45

Write the PSST front half

Problem and Solution written live on the template, with feedback as you write.

1:452:00

Fix list and next steps

Leave with a prioritized list of the evidence and documents you still need.

Fit

Who this session is for

A good fit if you…

  • You keep meaning to apply for grants but never get to the writing
  • You have submitted before and been rejected without knowing why
  • You need a realistic 12-month plan instead of a scattered list of programs
  • You want the front half of your plan drafted, not just explained

Not a good fit if you…

  • You want someone to write the whole application for you
  • You are looking for guaranteed selection or insider information
  • You have no business or product direction defined yet

FAQ

Before you apply

I have never applied for a government program. Is this too advanced?

No. Roughly half the participants are first-time applicants. We start from which programs you are eligible for.

Will my business plan be finished in the session?

The front half (Problem and Solution) is drafted live. The remaining sections are covered by the template and one round of individual feedback afterwards.

Do I need to bring anything?

A laptop and any existing company or product materials. If you have a previous application, bring it — we will diagnose it.
