Raising €5-30M? These calls are the wrong size.
Cascade calls fund €30,000 to €200,000. Above that you are in EIC territory: the Accelerator, with a grant of up to €2.5M plus equity, and EIC STEP Scale Up, which invests €10-30M of equity in two separate routes — one general, one for primarily defence products with a single cut-off on 28 October 2026.
