Strategic
Funding

Strategy and funding are two sides of the same coin: implementing a strategy takes funds, while fundraising will not work without a solid strategic plan. We provide either: strategy consulting and fund raising—or both in an integrated proposition.

Benedict
Peax

Benedict Peax is a consulting firm that helps companies big and small fund their innovation, growth and sustainability. Our approach begins with understanding a company’s strategy, including its business plans, research and development goals, and financial projections. More often than not, these elements need to be aligned onto each other before we can use them to raise funds from grants and fiscal incentives to (soft) loans, bank debt and private investments.

We call this concept strategic funding.

Our portfolio includes start-ups as well as SMEs, listed companies and multinationals. Our clients are happy to provide testimony as to the uniqueness of our approach, the quality of our service and the dedication of our people.

We serve as our clients’ trusted, hands-on partner for Dutch and European funding schemes and investment opportunities for innovation, growth and sustainability. We connect our clients with investors from our growing network and help them raise capital that can then be leveraged with public loans, grants and fiscal incentives for the lowest possible cost of capital.

Our approach

We support our clients by providing access to relevant national and international networks. Depending on the specific value we can add, this includes potential technical cooperation partners, private investors, and supporting organizations in the EU, USA, and beyond.

Long-lasting relationships

Nowi

Nowi develops a chip that can boost the voltage of energy harvested from ambient sources, such as wifi or mobile phone signals, motion and light. BPx has supported the company in fundraising since its inception in 2016. We congratulate Nowi and are happy to have been part of their journey!

SDS Separation Technology is dedicated to making the industry cleaner by separating gases and particles. A technology that enables companies to reduce their CO2 emissions and promote the transition to green hydrogen.

Benedict Peax helped us achieve WSBO status and obtain over €460,000 of European funding from the Just Transition Funds. This financial support is crucial for developing and scaling up our innovative separation technology. Our partnership with Benedict Peax has been so successful that we have engaged them as strategic funding advisers.

Albert van Lawick van Pabst
CEO SDS Separation Technology

As a startup, we had a revolutionary concept: a chip that draws energy from its surroundings, aiming to find a solution to the 15 billion batteries thrown away every year. It's a great idea, but without funding and the right guidance, it remains just that: an idea.

Benedict Peax successfully guided us through two rounds of investment. Now, Now i is part of Nexperia, and we are ready to deliver on our promise to provide a sustainable solution for batteries. Without Benedict Peax support, we would never have reached this milestone.

We aim to become the most sustainable bakery in the world. Because Fuite Bakery is at the forefront of innovation and sustainability in the bakery industry, we are forced to seek inspiration and cooperation outside our industry.

Working with Benedict Peax has proved invaluable to us. They have an extensive network of progressive companies in different industries and they believe in our project. They helped us secure a crucial R&D grant that enabled us to develop and implement a revolutionary bread printing technology in our bakery. Besides their expertise and network, we appreciate the team's quick responses and personal commitment.

At Draisma Bouw we develop innovative building solutions,like Digital Twin technology, which allows for virtual building and enables optimization. This has led to a product line for fast and sustainable bio-based construction.

Benedict Peax has given us access to grants we did not know about or were too complex to apply for ourselves. Thanks to the provincial grant ‘Natuurlijk Sneller Bouwen,’ a grant of over €100,000, we could invest in digitalizing processes and the development of these Digital Twins. Further more, the collaboration with Benedict Peax assures us that we will stay up-to-date on future grant opportunities, allowing us to continue our innovation journey.

Kees van Buuren
Deputy Director Draisma Bouw

Gradyent's core business is developing Digital Twins that provide real-time insight into energy consumption and loss. This insight allows networks to be optimized and CO2 emissions to be reduced by up to 10%.

Working with Benedict Peax has been a game-changer for us. As a start-up in the renewable energy sector, we initially found the world of funding opportunities impenetrable. Benedict Peax offered a helping hand. They understood our technology and identified strategic funding options, such as the Innovation Credit and the Just Transition Fund, which resulted in 2 million euros in funding.

At Concr3de, we developed powder-based 3D printers that allow you to produce complex and precise parts. The system offers the ability to create new material properties and scale and reuse waste.

Benedict Peax was essential to our success by helping us get the right funding. With their strategic approach, we found the right grants and investors, obtained a bank loan, and secured €750,000 from the Just Transition Fund—a big step towards the future of our company and more sustainable construction.
