I am myself an old private grants consultant and it is a sector and people I care about. That’s why I have allocated a specific corner of The Grant to this sector under the label Consultants Corner. Here, I give the sector a voice and dig into all kinds of issues relevant for this shadow sector like business models, the work as a grants consultant, how they develop business concepts, how they deal with insane work pressure and so on and so forth.

This weeks guest reached out to me and requested to join the show. Nikolaos Floratos has more than 20 years of experience most pf the time as a grants consultant. He has developed a novel approach to grants consultancy based on a platform with different services with remuneration based on subscription. And it does not include the actual writing of the proposals for the clients, but on solid supportive services.

It became an interesting talk about this platform and the conditions for the grants consultancy sector in general when it comes to grants consultancy business model development.
