Signal Engine
Deal intelligence, before the market
The Signal Engine scans thousands of research papers, patents, and market signals across Europe to surface investment opportunities before they hit the mainstream — scored, assessed, and matched to your thesis.
How it works
Research Signal Detection
Continuously scans thousands of academic papers, patent filings, and conference proceedings across Europe to detect emerging technology signals before they reach mainstream awareness.
Opportunity Scoring
Each signal is scored across 50+ data points — technology maturity, market timing, competitive landscape, and team indicators — producing a ranked, filterable opportunity list.
Thesis Matching
Investors configure their sector, stage, and geography preferences. The engine surfaces only the opportunities that fit, reducing noise and time-to-decision.
Deep Assessments
High-scoring opportunities receive a full machine-generated venture memo: research cluster map, key personnel, patent landscape, regulatory context, and strategic fit analysis.
Funding Intelligence
Funding Intelligence
For founders and researchers navigating EU and national grant programmes.
EU & National Grant Aggregation
Continuously aggregates live opportunities from Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, TED, RVO, Bpifrance, and Eurostars — normalised and deduplicated.
Deadline-Aware Match Scoring
Each opportunity is scored against your profile across six dimensions: sector, stage, country, deadline proximity, funding range, and eligible role. Results ranked by fit.
Automated Deadline Alerts
Get email digests 30, 14, and 7 days before deadlines for matched or bookmarked opportunities. Weekly digest every Monday.
Researcher–Startup Collaboration
Researchers discover industry-compatible startups and send typed collaboration requests — licensing, co-research, spinout, or advisory. Founders respond from their dashboard.

Our Mission
Surfacing the invisible
The most important research breakthroughs are scattered across thousands of papers, patents, and conference proceedings — most never reach the investors who could commercialise them.
The Signal Engine exists to change that: continuous, systematic coverage of European deep tech, so no high-potential signal goes unnoticed by the people with the mandate to act on it.
