testimonials
The successful cooperation with our clients is our top priority. We are proud to have accompanied many teams on their entrepreneurial journey.
"We faced challenges in quickly identifying funding opportunities and understanding the eligibility and funding criteria, which made it difficult to prepare documents, work plans, and everything necessary for a successful application. The team around Bernd provided invaluable support, consistently demonstrating deep knowledge, flexibility, and a thorough approach to our needs. They were by our side throughout the application process, offering proactive assistance not only with documentation but also with screening calls, building consortia, and much more — well beyond our initial expectations. Working with this team has been a testament to their professionalism and expertise. Their proactive approach, combined with careful attention to detail, rigorous scrutiny, and a comprehensive understanding of our product, research and development needs, and vision, has been instrumental in advancing our goals."

"We were faced with the challenge of navigating the complex funding jungle, understanding the requirements of the funding providers and effectively using the appropriate online tools to set up our project in a structured way. Bernd Kopper's team provided us with excellent support in all these areas. Thanks to their expertise and the flexibility of team members Luka, Thomas and Bernd, we were able to better understand the processes and optimise our designs in a targeted manner. Working with them was always a pleasure, and we particularly appreciated the constructive feedback and professional support that the team provided us with throughout".

"Bernd and his team are very diligent, fast, and responsive. Their experience in Austrian public funding options is very valuable. With their support, we were able to avoid many in hindsight trivial mistakes. The collaboration was well structured, timelines were well communicated and there were no delays. What further sets them apart is their network of industry experts and researchers who provide technical and scientific knowledge".

Managing Director
Podero GmbH
"We had a clear idea, but lacked the knowledge of what is needed to write a high-quality funding application. An initial attempt to write the application on our own was unsuccessful. Thanks to the expertise of Bernd Kopper's team, we were able to meet the requirements much better and also benefited from an improved project, as they gave us valuable food for thought. Their working methods and the documentation provided were a great help and saved us a lot of time. When considering the full scope of a funding project, many questions arise, and we were always provided with quick and professional support throughout this process. We benefited greatly from the team's extensive expertise and were even able to develop our project further by adding an additional aspect".

"We have known Bernd Kopper since our inception and have always been very happy to have valuable input from him and his team. Experience in the submission of grant applications is available internally, but we are focusing more and more on customer service and product development. For this reason we came back into contact with Bernd Kopper and his team and after a short time we were convinced of the competence of the team and the extremely precise way of working.Throughout the entire process of writing applications we were competently supported and always felt understood when making suggestions. The time required for the application letter was greatly optimized for us and additional know-how was incorporated in the implementation of all formal criteria and in document and content management."

Bernd Kopper and his team are the ideal partner to analyze market data in advance and to derive the further - correct - steps from it. In addition, their many years of experience also enable them to provide an ideal overview of the existing funding/financing landscape and to put an aspiring team in touch with the right contacts. With the support of Bernd Kopper, we were able to reorganize our product portfolio and devote ourselves specifically to larger markets."

"We came to Bernd Kopper and his team via a recommendation.
We were looking for someone to provide us with a company valuation for our investor search and to support us in creating a pich deck. We felt we were in good hands from the beginning. We got honest feedback and quick and professional results. If something was unclear, we received personal advice immediately; Bernd and his team were always quickly available for questions. We are already looking forward to implementing further projects together."
