Cascade Funding

Mission-driven innovation, collaboration and less bureaucracy are the smart funding characteristics that help scaleups become venture-ready.

In 2014, the European Commision implemented a new mechanism to distribute grants to businesses on the EU territory: Cascade Funding. Millions of euros of “bulk funding” are first distributed to accelerators and specialised platforms. Then, these intermediaries distribute smaller funding tickets to businesses aligned with the European Commission’s innovation priorities.

FundingBox is an organisation making cascade funding available to startups and SMEs while providing dynamic assistance to them through its platform made up of industry-focused communities.
