Writing a Proposal Is Difficult?
Get Expert Advisory Support.
Advisory Support Essentials
Know What to Write
The EIC Accelerator is extremely specific in its evaluation criteria. Having an expert who has successfully supported funded EIC Accelerator projects is invaluable and will help you craft a high-quality proposal. Don’t guess what the best phrasing or explanation would be—let the expert guide you. You can have one or more members of your team write the proposal, and the expert advisor, Stephan Segler, PhD, will coordinate with the team to have the most efficient process in place.
Budget Friendly
The advisory model is very budget-friendly and costs just a fraction of what the full writing service would cost. This is ideal for companies that have writing skills in-house and just need general guidance to help them. It is also perfectly aligned with seed-stage startups that want to mitigate the risk by not investing in high upfront fees. Upfront fees and success fees are significantly discounted for the advisory service to help startups succeed in the program.
Save Time
The EIC Accelerator is a notoriously obscure program, and many applicants don’t even know where to find the nearest templates. Some spend weeks or months filling out the wrong templates and only notice during submission. They also waste hours and days on researching instead of writing because reliable sources on the Internet are scarce. Most content found online regarding the EIC Accelerator is already outdated, and applicants will often find themselves in a limbo of misinformation.
Avoid Red Flags
The EIC Accelerator is full of tripwires. Many red flags can unintentionally be embedded, leading to immediate rejections. A small mistake, such as adding the wrong Technology Readiness Level (TRL) or including a wrong sentence in the Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis, or presenting the wrong type of budget can result in immediate rejection. Having an advisor by your side will help you avoid these red flags and allow the evaluators to assess the merit of your proposal rather than how well you followed the rules.

Templates, Materials & AI Writer
You will immediately get access to 13+ different templates that professional writers use for the preparation of EIC Accelerator proposals. This includes detailed budget and project planning spreadsheets, an advanced proposal template for Step 1 and Step 2, as well as a variety of supporting documents, including the Freedom to Operate analysis, letters of intent, the pitch deck, and more. You will also gain access to the AI writer in the form of free writing credits and other guidance materials, which provide deep value for the advisory service.
Personal 1-On-1 Guidance
You will have direct access to an expert, Stephan Segler, PhD, who has successfully supported EIC Accelerator proposals and has deep insight into every step of the evaluation process, including Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. It is important to write each part with the final interview in mind, which is why the advisory service is invaluable. The personal guidance includes multiple strategy calls to ensure that the project is presented in the most ideal manner, along with in-depth discussions about the project and its presentability.
Personal Reviews of Materials
You will get personal reviews of everything you have written, including the main proposal, the pitch deck, and even the video. With detailed feedback, you can improve your materials and ensure that you submit the most ideal and perfected proposal to maximize your chances of success with the EIC Accelerator. All of these reviews also extend to evaluation summary reports or any other questions you might have that are relevant to the success of this submission.
Long-Term Support & Resubmissions
The advisory support presents a long-term engagement to ensure that the most ideal proposal is submitted and that no stone is left unturned. Each contract foresees a total duration of 24 months to ensure that any potential resubmissions or delays are included. The advisory service is more than a one-off engagement; it is a long-term commitment to maximize your chances of success for the EIC Accelerator.
Streamlined Advisory Process
Data Sharing
The first step in starting the advisory process is file sharing, which is usually ideal using either SharePoint or Google Drive. You will receive a Google Drive space to prepare your proposal, but you can also choose to create the proposal within your own cloud-sharing service. All the templates will be shared with you once the service begins.
Project Planning
The next stage is project planning, which includes identifying which of your team members will perform the writing tasks and who will be involved in the project to ensure that all relevant team members are included in communication. It will also be defined which services are going to be used, especially regarding cloud services, while timelines and schedules are set in place.
Strategy Call
After everything has been defined, we begin with the first strategy call and the first part of the proposal. By segmenting the proposal into smaller sections, it becomes easier to focus on one part in the beginning and then gradually move through the entire template. You and the advisor, Stephan Segler, PhD, will perfectly align your project to the proposal section, after which you can confidently write it.
Review Phase
After you have completed the first section of the proposal, the advisor will review it and assess the quality while making targeted, productive suggestions for improvement. After the review is completed and the improvements are integrated, we move on to the next section and repeat strategy calls and review phases until the entire proposal has been completed in the most ideal manner to maximize success chances.
