We help individuals and businesses grow — from concept to realization.

From first idea to delivered result.

From first idea to funded, delivered project — we handle everything in between.

About us

Why Peer to Prosper?

Most consultants advise from a distance. We've worked inside IT firms — in presales, product development, and R&D — and we bring that same hands-on perspective to every engagement. Our team combines doctoral-level analytical rigour with 12+ years of experience turning technical ideas into funded, market-ready projects. We work best when the idea exists but the business case doesn't yet.

Presales intelligence, not generic advice

Proposals that actually win

We map your product portfolio to real buyer needs and help you build proposals that win — whether you're entering new markets, repositioning existing solutions, or responding to tenders. We start where your pipeline stalls.

R&D, commercialisation & EU funding

From application to implementation

From identifying the right instrument to writing the full project proposal, we own the business case so your technical team can focus on delivery. We know what Horizon, NPOO, and structural fund reviewers want to see — and we write accordingly.

From technical idea to business case

Business logic for technical teams

Your team knows what it's building. We handle what comes before sales and funding — market analysis, positioning, financial logic. Deep enough to convince investors, funding bodies, or key buyers.

End-to-end, from first idea to closed project

Support beyond the kickoff

We don't disappear after the proposal. We stay through implementation — managing milestones, reporting, and stakeholder communication so the project delivers what it promised.

Services overview

Services

1

Analysis & Presales

We turn your idea or business challenge into a clear, evidence-based concept — through market and customer analysis, cost-benefit and feasibility studies, and functional specifications your development team can actually build from.

2

Financing & Delivery

We identify the right funding route — EU instruments, public programmes or private financing — structure the full application or revise the one you already made, and stay through implementation until the planned results are delivered.

3

AI readiness & process redesign

Before you automate, you need to know what's worth automating. We map your existing processes, identify where AI and digital tools create real value, and redesign workflows before any development starts — so your team builds the right thing from day one.

Pro Bono Support

Twice a month, we set aside time for free, no‑strings‑attached consultations for entrepreneurs who need an honest, expert view on their ideas and challenges but don’t yet have access to this kind of support.

How it works

You bring the idea or challenge

We clarify what you're trying to achieve, what you already have, and where the real risks and opportunities sit — before anyone starts building anything.

How it works

We explore what's worth pursuing

We analyse your context and map realistic options: solutions, partners, funding routes. You choose what makes sense to chase — with evidence, not gut feel.

How it works

We define a concrete, fundable concept

We turn the chosen direction into a proposal-ready concept — clear goals, work packages, budget and governance. Structured for whatever funding route you're pursuing.

How it works

We support funding and execution

We write and submit applications, stay through negotiation, and remain involved during delivery. The goal isn't a signed contract — it's the result you planned for.

We don’t replace you -we walk alongside you as strategic partners

S tvrtkom surađujemo od 2021. godine i zajedno smo realizirali više projekata – od pribavljanja bespovratnih sredstava za razvojne projekte do povoljnih financiranja za investicijske projekte. Za sada imamo 100 % success rate!

Još važnije od samog rezultata je način rada: Marija, Mia i cijeli tim vode nas kroz pripremu projekata i administraciju izuzetno profesionalno i proaktivno. Brinu se da mi imamo što manje posla, da ništa ne izostane i da se ništa ne zaboravi.

Suradnja je jednostavna, ugodna i učinkovita. Iskrena preporuka!

Preuzeli su projekt koji je već bio u tijeku i u dosta nezgodnoj fazi. Brzo su pohvatali konce, unijeli red i pomogli nam da napokon krenemo kako treba. Uštedjeli nam su nam gomilu vremena i novca.
