According to a recent [report from dealroom.co](https://dealroom.co/reports/startups-backed-by-the-eus-framework-programmes), only **5% - just €11–12 billion out of €220 billion -** in EU innovation funding actually reaches startups. Yet, these startups have created **€520 billion in value** and attracted over **€70 billion in high-risk deeptech investments**. So we ask the obvious question: **Where did the other 95% - nearly €210 billion - go?** 🔥💸 ![Design uden navn-Sep-14-2023-08-54-48-6190-AM](https://softseed.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Canva%20images/Design%20uden%20navn-Sep-14-2023-08-54-48-6190-AM.png?width=1500&height=2000&name=Design%20uden%20navn-Sep-14-2023-08-54-48-6190-AM.png "Design uden navn-Sep-14-2023-08-54-48-6190-AM") Who We Are: The Problem We Solve ### **We help you outplay bureaucrats on their home turf: Softfunding** Over the past decades, the EU innovation system has drifted toward a bureaucratic model. It favors government funded and administrator led initiatives, creating a maze of regulated and documentation heavy grants 📑. These are often awarded to current or former bureaucrats who frequently lack real world technical or commercial experience 🤷‍♂️. In many cases, these non commercial and career driven bureaucrats have managed to rise to the top of even the most prestigious and well funded innovation and startup promoting advisory initiatives in Europe, without any significant commercial accomplishments to show for it ❌🏆. After more than 10 years working on the commercial frontlines of this system in Denmark, which is arguably one of the most heavily subsidized and bureaucratically entangled versions of these practices, I have seen firsthand how this model stifles and kills the growth of truly competitive and excellence driven ecosystems of innovation in Europe. **Softseed.ai** was created to flip the script. We empower scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to outplay the bureaucrats on their own turf. We use AI to navigate and unlock the soft funding system 🤖🔓. **🎯 Our goal** **is simple**. Return the innovation agenda of Europe to where it truly belongs: **Commercial Innovators and Investors** 💡💼 The tragedy of the so called innovation system in the EU is how it has been entangled by bureaucrats to primarily serve the self interest of bureaucrats 🏢. We are here to untangle EU innovation funding with AI and give the torch back to those who build   Softseed´s People ## Meet our team ### Jeppe Grinderslev Co-founder CEO ### Christian Mariager Co-founder CTO ### Peter Frier Co-Founder CAO - Chief AI Officer ### Why Choose Softseed? #### Re-Apply-Guarantee As your near guarantee of success, FundAPPLY includes a Re-Apply-Guarantee in the rare case of rejection. #### Price-Match We match prices of offers you receive from all established players in your company’s country or state. #### IP Secure AI Since 2021, we have worked to offer unprecedented efficiency and quality with our unique IP Secure AI-Supported Processes. #### Time is Money Online Facilitation enables us to Scope & Scribe your Applications with minimal toll on your time & ressources. ![Softseed (900 × 650px) (719 × 50px) (250 × 50px)](https://softseed.ai/hubfs/Softseed%20(900%20%C3%97%20650px)%20(719%20%C3%97%2050px)%20(250%20%C3%97%2050px).png) SoftSeed.AI *by Effectuate.AI* Daugløkke 27 3050 Humlebæk Denmark © 2025 Softseed.AI - Effectuate.AI subsidiary (Legal Name: Grinder) All rights reserved Privacy Policy [Powered by Atlas - a B2B SaaS HubSpot theme](https://www.kalungi.com/atlas-hubspot-theme-for-b2b-saas-software)
