About
Deep-Tech Commercialization & Funding Strategist for Impact and Growth. Strategic advisor to family offices seeking high-quality private-market opportunities at the intersection of innovation, impact, and long-term value creation. What if your deep tech company could unlock both public grants AND private capital — at the same time? That’s exactly what we built InnoGrant Advisors to do. I’m Agnes — scientist, strategist, and founder. After 20+ years at the intersection of R&D, corporate innovation, and investment, I saw the same gap over and over: brilliant deep tech companies couldn’t get funded not because their technology wasn’t ready, but because their story, strategy, and fundability weren’t. So I built the only boutique that bridges both worlds. €250M+ secured. That’s the proof. I work with three types of clients: 🏦 Family Offices, VCs & CVCs → Curated, vetted deep tech deal flow in Europe → Technical & commercial due diligence with scientific depth → Public funding mobilization for portfolio companies → Co-investment matching & venture building support → Independent trusted advisory on deep tech investments 🏢 Corporates & Large Enterprises → Tech & innovation scouting aligned
