Our approach
Co-created, embedded and built to last
We work alongside you rather than at a distance, from the first conversation through to launch.
Discover
We start by understanding your innovation, your goals and the ecosystem around you.
- What you are building and why it matters
- Where it is today and where it needs to get to
- The people, programmes and funding already around it
For larger organisations and programmes, discovery can take the form of a full ecosystem audit.
Design
Together we co-design the strategy, choosing the funding routes, partners and systems that fit.
- The funding routes worth pursuing
- The partners and alliances that strengthen the case
- The processes and programmes that will carry it forward
Fund
We match you with viable funding and grants, and help you manage the funding once it is awarded.
- Opportunities checked for fit and eligibility
- Proposals shaped with you and your partners
- Support managing the funding after award
Launch and grow
We stay embedded as you launch, refining the approach and strengthening the ecosystem around you.
- Keeping momentum from pilot to scale
- Improving the systems as you learn
- Building connections that outlast the project
What guides us
Four principles
Depth
We bring deep expertise in developing and commercialising cutting-edge innovation, and we take the time to understand yours properly.
Co-creation
We develop methodologies together with the people who will use them, from leading universities to businesses large and small.
Cultivation
We work inside the existing ecosystem, from accelerator programmes to the public sector and universities, looking for ways to improve what is on offer.
Systems thinking
Innovations succeed or fail inside systems, so we design the system as well as the project.
Launch with us
It starts with a conversation
Tell us what you are working on. We’ll talk it through and suggest where Deeplink can help.
