Our Mission
We put funding where it belongs: into the innovative projects that move companies forward.
With upsmart, we unify a fragmented funding landscape, turn complex processes into clear, manageable workflows, and support organizations from the first application through successful execution—so strong ideas create impact faster.
upsmart goes beyond traditional consulting. It is a platform for funding and project management that connects strategy, applications, and execution in one system. We automate applications, bring transparency to every step, and enable efficient, compliant project management—so our customers can focus on innovation, not administration.
upsmart is the partner that helps companies unlock the full potential of public funding and turn it into real results.

Why teams choose us

Built on trust and responsibility
Public funding demands care; we handle data, processes, and decisions with the discipline you expect.
Detail-driven by nature
We sweat the small stuff—from data quality to documentation—because details decide outcomes.
Security-aware by default
Sensitive innovation and financial data stay protected; security and compliance are baked in.
Curious, pragmatic, hands-on
We question assumptions, test ideas, and ship what works—not buzzwords.
Committed to impact
Our motivation is simple: help good ideas get funded and turned into measurable progress.
