Our service GetGrant has received the prestigious Seal of Excellence within the European grant programme Seeds of Bravery (UASEEDs). Our project was selected through a competitive evaluation process under the “Innovative Entrepreneurship” (P2) track and was awarded the Seal of Excellence — a recognition granted by EU experts for exceptional quality, strong innovation potential, and a significant expected impact. This achievement confirms that GetGrant meets the highest European standards of innovation and relevance, strengthening the international community’s trust in our service.
About the Seeds of Bravery Programme and the Seal of Excellence
Seeds of Bravery (UASEEDs) is a large-scale EU initiative with a budget of €20 million designed to support Ukrainian tech start-ups and integrate them into the European innovation landscape. The programme is funded through the European Innovation Council (EIC) and brings together a consortium of 17 leading organisations committed to strengthening Ukraine’s tech ecosystem and enabling its global growth.
Seeds of Bravery offers five support directions (P1–P5), including Business and Innovation Services, Innovative Entrepreneurship, Deep Tech Incubators, Rebuild Ukraine, and Deep Tech Scale-Up/Acceleration, with grants of up to €60,000 per project.
The programme pays particular attention to high-potential proposals: even if a project does not receive direct funding, it may still be distinguished with a Seal of Excellence. This “badge of excellence,” granted by the European Commission, highlights high-quality projects demonstrating exceptional innovation and scalability potential. The Seal opens access to various additional opportunities and support instruments for its holders.
Receiving the Seal of Excellence from Seeds of Bravery confirms that the GetGrant project underwent a rigorous expert review and achieved high scores at the European level.
Impact on GetGrant’s Reputation and Growth
For the GetGrant team, this recognition carries strategic importance.
First, the Seal of Excellence significantly enhances our reputation. International recognition from a prestigious EU programme serves as a strong trust signal for clients, partners, and investors. European experts have confirmed the relevance and quality of our service — a factor of particular importance in the field of grants and funding, where credibility and reliability are essential.
Second, the Seal opens new growth opportunities for GetGrant. As one of the selected projects endorsed by the EU evaluation panel, we are laying the groundwork for scaling our service across European markets. This recognition acts as an entry point to the European innovation community, enabling closer collaboration with international partners, joint initiatives, and knowledge exchange.
Such developments align with our mission: to systematically strengthen the service while integrating best European practices and standards. Being recognised at the EU level motivates us to further improve the platform and meet the highest expectations of our users.
Ultimately, receiving the Seal of Excellence validates our development strategy. It aligns with GetGrant’s core values — transparency, innovation, and the sustainable growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. We see this recognition not only as an achievement but also as a responsibility: to continue delivering excellence and justify the trust placed in us by the European innovation community.
New Opportunities for GetGrant and Its Users
The Seal of Excellence brings not only prestige but also practical benefits for both GetGrant and our user community. Through participation in Seeds of Bravery, we gain access to an expanded package of support tools and resources:
1. Access to investor and accelerator networks
GetGrant now joins a European-wide community of investors and accelerators within UASEEDs. This expands our connections with venture funds, business angels, and innovation hubs across the EU. For users, this means a growing bridge to European funding opportunities — including insights, contacts, and future integrations with investor platforms.
2. Participation in acceleration and mentorship programmes
Seeds of Bravery provides tailored business support programmes such as Market Discovery, Fast Track, and specialised bootcamps. Thanks to the Seal of Excellence, the GetGrant team can join these initiatives, engage with international mentors, and receive expert guidance — allowing us to develop new platform features more efficiently and in alignment with global best practices.
3. Consulting and specialised support
The programme offers coaching and expert consultations in areas such as EU market entry, legal frameworks, financial management, and inclusive entrepreneurship. These resources will help us improve internal processes, enhance user experience, and develop new tools for our community.
4. Broader presence at international events
Seeds of Bravery provides access to leading European technology conferences and Demo Days. We plan to actively use these opportunities to showcase GetGrant, expand international partnerships, and attract new users. This will help users access a wider range of European grant programmes and benefit from new integrations and features powered by our international cooperation roadmap.
Together, these opportunities signify that GetGrant is entering a new stage of development. Our service will enrich its functionality, expand its network, and strengthen its ability to act as a gateway connecting Ukrainian innovators with global funding opportunities.
