Strategic Partners in Your Funding Journey
Telos was created with a singular mission: to help deep-tech innovators secure the non-dilutive funding they need to turn breakthrough ideas into reality. We combine strategic expertise with genuine partnership.
Why R&D Grants Matter
For deep-tech companies, the path from breakthrough technology to market success is long and capital-intensive. Traditional venture capital often requires founders to give up significant equity before their technology has proven its full potential.
R&D grants offer an alternative: substantial funding that lets you develop your technology, build your team, and prove your market—all without diluting your ownership. When done strategically, grant funding becomes a powerful lever in your overall funding strategy.
At Telos, we believe every promising deep-tech venture deserves the opportunity to compete for this non-dilutive funding. Our role is to level the playing field, bringing the expertise and strategic thinking needed to succeed.
Non-Dilutive Capital
Grants allow you to fund R&D without giving up equity. Maintain ownership and control while accelerating your technology development.
Validation & Credibility
Winning competitive grants signals market validation to investors, customers, and partners. It's a stamp of approval from expert evaluators.
De-Risk Innovation
R&D grants reduce the financial risk of pursuing ambitious technical objectives, enabling you to tackle harder problems with less pressure.
Accelerate Timelines
Additional funding means more resources. Hire key talent, acquire equipment, and hit milestones faster than bootstrapping alone.
Our Approach & Philosophy
We believe successful grant funding requires more than paperwork—it requires strategic alignment, deep understanding, and genuine partnership.
Strategic Thinking First
We don't just fill out applications. We start by understanding your technology, your market, and your goals. Then we identify the opportunities that align with your strategic direction and maximize your chances of success.
Partnership Model
We work alongside you as partners, not service providers. Your success is our success. We're invested in understanding your technology deeply and articulating its value in ways that resonate with evaluators.
Technical Understanding
Grant applications for deep-tech require genuine technical comprehension. Our team includes professionals with strong technical backgrounds who can engage with complex technologies and translate them into compelling narratives.
“The best grant applications tell a story of innovation that's impossible to ignore. Our job is to help you tell that story.”

Telos Team
Built on Experience
Our team brings together decades of combined experience in R&D funding, technology commercialization, and deep-tech entrepreneurship. We've sat on both sides of the table—as applicants seeking funding and as evaluators reviewing proposals.
This dual perspective gives us unique insight into what makes grant applications succeed. We know what evaluators look for, how to structure compelling narratives, and how to present technical innovation in its best light.
More importantly, we genuinely care about the success of the companies we work with. Deep-tech innovation matters. It solves real problems and creates lasting value. Our role is to help these innovations find the funding they deserve.
