About Trellis
Our Mission
Trellis is an intelligent platform designed to help UK companies discover and secure the funding opportunities that best match their needs. We believe that finding the right grant shouldn't be a time-consuming challenge—it should be straightforward, efficient, and tailored to your company's unique profile.
Our mission is to democratize access to UK funding opportunities by aggregating grants from multiple providers and using artificial intelligence to provide intelligent matching and analysis.
What We Do
Trellis aggregates funding opportunities from leading UK grant providers, including:
- UKRI (UK Research and Innovation)
- NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research)
- Catapult Network
- Innovate UK
We then use advanced AI technology to match these opportunities with companies based on their:
- Company profile and business information
- Technology readiness level (TRL)
- Industry and SIC codes
- Funding search criteria and preferences
- Eligibility requirements
