In stealth since August 2025, Sphere Ventures today announced the start of its operations, introducing a new model to help European ventures access EU grants and ethical financing without giving up equity.
Small and medium enterprises across Europe face persistent barriers to capital, from competitive VC investment to bank requirements that favor established businesses. At the same time, EU innovation funding remains difficult to access and unevenly distributed. Sphere Ventures was founded to close this gap by combining funding expertise with hands-on operational support.
Sphere Ventures supports ventures in securing EU grants, arranging ethical financing, and closing co-financing gaps through a network of vetted investors and financial partners. In parallel, the firm provides strategic and operational guidance, helping founding teams move from MVP to scalable growth while reducing execution and investment risk.
Unlike traditional accelerators or venture funds, Sphere Ventures does not take equity. Its revenue model is aligned with founders: the firm is compensated only when capital is successfully received through grants, investments, or banking instruments.
Positioned as a collaborative hub within the European innovation ecosystem, Sphere Ventures works alongside investors, public agencies, universities, and accelerators to promote transparent, ethical, and sustainable growth. Its mission is to become the trusted partner for innovators seeking long-term success through EU and values-driven capital.
