Funding is our craft
Fördermeister is an independent funding consultancy for small and medium-sized companies. We believe government funding should not be a privilege of large corporations with their own funding departments. That is why we bring knowledge of more than 1,300 federal, state, and EU programs to the Mittelstand – understandable, honest, and with a clear eye on what actually gets approved.
The team behind Fördermeister
Behind Fördermeister is a team of consultants with a shared standard: funding advice at eye level, without jargon and without empty promises. We work across sectors for crafts, industry, services, and the digital economy.
