Better Presence is an AI platform that finds, prepares and files the grants, tenders, awards and listings European SMEs are missing.
Built for owners and managing directors of small and mid-size companies who don’t have a bid manager, a grants consultant or a PR team — and shouldn’t need one to compete.
Good companies lose to visible companies.
Europe spends around €2.4 trillion a year on public contracts and hands out billions more in grants, subsidies and awards. Most of it goes to the same large companies — not because they deliver better, but because they have people whose only job is finding and filing.
An SME has an owner doing five jobs. The calls are scattered across hundreds of portals, written in 24 languages, and buried in PDFs. So the tender goes unanswered, the award goes unentered, the directory listing never gets made.
We built Better Presence to be that missing person — for every SME in Europe, at the price of a software subscription.
What Better Presence does
One platform for everything that makes a company findable, fundable and shortlisted. Agents do the searching and writing; you approve.
EU, national and regional calls matched to your profile and written in the funder’s own format.
Public and corporate invitations monitored daily, qualified for fit, and prepared for submission.
Supplier databases, chamber registers and certifications kept current, so buyers can find and approve you.
Awards, conferences, fairs and speaking slots — deadlines tracked, entries written.
Marketplaces, directories and launch platforms where buyers — and their AI assistants — search.
Payment claims, progress reports and multi-year obligations handled, so a win stays a win.
What makes us different
Tender alerts and grant databases tell you what exists. Better Presence changes who does the work.
Search portals send you a list. We read each call, check eligibility, draft the application and wait for your approval.
Tenders are one channel. Grants, registers, awards, events and marketplaces compound together into a presence competitors can’t match.
Consultants take a cut of what you win. We charge a flat monthly price, so every euro raised stays yours.
Nothing is submitted without your approval. Signatures and bank details stay with you.
Local portals, local languages, local rules — starting with Slovenia and Croatia, expanding across the Union.
Built by an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor-led team. Your company data is encrypted, EU-hosted and never sold.
The team behind Better Presence
Built by software engineers, bid writers and growth operators from the Benchmarked group, a network of 40+ operators in Ljubljana, New York, Utah, Dubai and Zagreb that co-builds and co-operates AI-native companies.
Two founder exits, secure payments scaled past $1.2B in transactions, and an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor. As founder of Benchmarked Group he has spent two decades winning tenders, grants and enterprise clients the hard way — the playbook Better Presence now automates.

Co-founder of Benchmarked and of Zero Days, a Ljubljana R&D and engineering studio. At Better Presence he owns the platform architecture and the agent layer — the evals and guardrails that make every drafted application accurate enough to sign.
We did it by hand first
For years our own companies won grants, tenders, awards and conference slots the way every SME does — late nights, copied paragraphs, missed deadlines. The results were real, but the process didn’t scale.
Better Presence turns that playbook into agents, co-built on Benchmarked’s Venture OS and still co-operated by the group.
