EuroFreelancers

What EuroFreelancers does

EuroFreelancers is a privately-held Finnish company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Vantaa, with a second office in Brussels. It operates as a curated marketplace that matches freelance fundraising professionals with SMEs, startups, research organisations, NGOs, universities and large enterprises seeking capital. Its service stack comprises four interconnected offerings: (1) EU Funding Consulting covering opportunity identification, consortium recruitment, bid writing and project implementation under EU programmes; (2) Private Equity Fundraising Services providing end-to-end support from pitch-deck development and investor targeting to deal facilitation; (3) an in-house Seed Investment Fund writing EUR 1M–3M equity tickets into early-stage for-profit ventures with social or environmental impact; and (4) a Fundability Assessment tool that produces a quantitative scorecard on team, product, business model, value proposition and exit potential.

The underlying platform is a curated two-sided network connecting vetted freelance fundraisers with a proprietary database of approximately 30,000+ business angels, family offices, HNW individuals and early-stage VCs. AI-driven matching — launched as the 'AI Investor Targeting' product in April 2026 and complemented by the 'Fundraising Prompts' toolkit in October 2025 — links founders to investors using stage, sector, geography and funding goal parameters; the firm also maintains the secretariat of the European Sharing Economy Coalition (EURO-SHE), an EU policy-advocacy platform launched in 2013.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly outcome-based: national grants and private investment mandates charge a success fee only, while EU funding mandates combine a small admin fee with a success fee on grant award. Pricing is bespoke per engagement, scoped through free discovery consultations. Reported performance metrics include 350+ national grant approvals at ~90% success, 50+ EU applications at 60–67% success, 65% on EIC Accelerator submissions, and 8 exits from invested portfolio companies since inception.
