Find the support that fits. Apply once.
The support that matters is usually in your city — but the information is scattered and every application form is the same. OSE Connect maps every qualified structure and routes you to the ones that fit your stage.
Hours lost searching, forms refilled five times.
Founders give up on support because the map does not exist: programmes they qualify for that they never hear about, application forms identical from one organization to the next, and no way to know which structures actually deliver.
- The right grant, incubator or programme is hard to find and often discovered too late.
- The same application refilled for every organization.
- No signal of which structures really provide what they announce.
Measured on the live base — never declared.
What each structure really delivers
Every organization is qualified on 14 observed indicators and 14 boosts (innovation, prototyping, testing, team, plan, legal, sales, market, skills, mentoring, network, legitimacy, infrastructure, mindset). You search on what they do, not what they say.
The structures in your city
68.4% of ecosystem variation is within countries: the module that matters is urban. Connect shows what exists around you, by stage and sector.
Programmes that bundle
Structures that test also prototype (×20.7); those that build teams also mentor (×9). Connect surfaces the bundles, not just the brand names.
Three results that change the decision.
Published or replicated on the OSE database — the same numbers you will find in OSE Expert.
Your ecosystem is your city, not your country.
68.4% of the variance in ecosystem composition sits within countries. The structures that will actually help you are a few kilometres away — Connect starts there.
Pick programmes that bundle testing with prototyping.
On the OSE base, organizations that support testing are 20.7× more likely to also support prototyping; sales support co-occurs with market access ×11.5. A bundle beats a brand.
Qualified structures, across 150+ countries — free for founders.
Measured on 14 indicators and re-qualified continuously. Connect is funded by the institutions that pay for the broader system; founders never pay.
