We help founders become investment-ready and help European VCs find deal flow worth backing. Through our network we run a dedicated track supporting Ukrainian defense-tech startups reach international investors.
Who we are, what we do, and how we help founders and funds find each other.
Horizon Grid started as a pan-European investment ecosystem. Today we operate as a focused advisory practice: we get startups fundraising-ready, and we get venture funds better deal flow — through our own consulting work and through the platforms we run, Potentia and the Network VC practice.
1:1 work on pitch, narrative, round strategy and investor targeting, drawn from evaluating thousands of pitches as active VCs.
Consent-based, ten-factor founder & team scoring via Potentia — replacing weeks of reference calls with a structured report investors can act on in days, not weeks. How it works →
