Innovation withoutthe paperwork.

Before an application is ready you're finding a consultant, assembling a consortium, chasing four organisations and holding all of it together. On upsmart it runs in one place, and you can see at any time what's missing and who it's sitting with. Get the funding, keep your project.

The problem

The writing is solved. The collecting isn't.

Any model can write the text of an application today. The eighty per cent before it can't: four organisations, four calendars, a spreadsheet nobody will hand over. Funding application, planning application, patent filing: always the same eighty per cent.

has agreed. It just needs signing off internally.

has the quote. Just not in the format you need.

The solution

One place. Everyone in. One status.

Documents come in

Everyone gets a form built from your project that asks for exactly what you need. Nobody has to sign up.

You approve

You see what's there, what's missing and who it's sitting with.

Input

What comes in is labelled.

Instead of an email with four attachments, everyone gets a form that asks for exactly what's needed. What comes back carries which question it belongs to, who it came from and when.

"That's the difference between 'I've got it somewhere' and 'it's ready'."

Who all contributes

Bring your own people. Or find new ones.

Funding consultant, tax adviser, law firm, university, supplier: whoever is already yours joins by invitation. Whoever you're missing is in the directory, and we're listed there like everyone else. For universities and institutes taking part is free.

Research partners

Commitments and work packages

Bridge

You describe what you actually intend to do: no work package nobody needs, no partner nobody wanted, just to make it fit a guideline. We look for what fits afterwards. And because the figures, evidence and commitments are already there by then, the application is nearly finished before it starts.

Audit-proof

Approved isn't done.

What was funded gets audited, sometimes years later. What counts then isn't that documents exist but that it's traceable who contributed what and when, and who approved it. We work with AI, and even so every figure in the application shows which file it came from.

Your project is yours

Others sell your project on to consultants. Here it stays in your house. Whoever joins comes by invitation and sees only what you release. If they leave, everything stays where it is and keeps the shape you gave it.
