How to Win Startup Grants in Europe Without Wasting Time | Innovantage Podcast #43

Most founders think grants are about paperwork. In reality, they are about positioning, clarity, and execution.
In this episode, we speak with Jonathan Spruytte, Grants & Incentives Senior Manager at KPMG Belgium, with prior EY Subsidia experience and a Ghent University research/PhD background, helping organizations secure Belgian and EU funding through structured grant strategy and writing.

In this episode we talk about:
 • How the grant process actually works
 • What makes a company truly “grant ready”
 • Why some proposals succeed and others fail
 • How long it realistically takes to secure funding
 • The human factor behind successful applications
