Find the right funding calls, and write the proposals that win.

Meritevo surfaces funding calls the moment they open, scores how well each fits your track record, and drafts the proposal alongside you in LaTeX, from first call to final submission. Your AI assistant and sparring partner, never the author.

How we think

Built around one belief: you are the expert.

Meritevo doesn’t ghostwrite. It is a suite that makes your expertise count for more. Every suggestion arrives as a reviewable proposal you accept, edit or discard, and nothing changes without you.

You're in the driver's seat

When Meritevo drafts a section skeleton, a budget or a first pass, it builds from your evidence and stages every change as a diff you approve. Nothing changes without you.

Your track record, working for you

Past proposals, partners and papers are connected by design and drawn on intelligently, so your strengths show up exactly where they matter.

A sparring partner, not a ghostwriter

Meritevo challenges weak arguments, finds the gaps a reviewer would flag and sharpens your case. It drafts when you ask: section by section, from your evidence, always for your review. You stay the author.

Open by default

LaTeX, real-time collaboration and a wide range of exports. Your work stays portable, standards-based and yours to take anywhere.

How it works

From your work to a submitted proposal.

One connected flow: each stage carries the evidence of the one before it. Open any stage to see it in the product.

The evidence

Not a stylistic preference. It is what the data shows.

For human-written proposals, more elaborate and persuasive language goes with better outcomes. For heavily AI-written ones that relationship inverts: polished prose stops signalling rigour once polish is free. Which is why Meritevo sharpens work you own instead of writing it for you.

~40%

of Horizon Europe proposal abstracts showed signs of AI assistance by the end of 2024, up from about 5% before ChatGPT.

no penalty

Proposals that mixed human and AI writing performed no worse than fully human-written ones, neither on funding nor on score.

-4.1pp

Proposals in the top quintile of AI reliance were funded less often, off a 14.8% base, and scored 0.15 standard deviations lower.

What Meritevo promises: efficiency, time to action and one suite for the whole process. Funding odds depend on the effort and quality of the proposal you assemble; Meritevo makes that work count.

The suite

Everything a winning proposal needs, in one place.

Seven connected areas: calls, ideas, proposals, project planner, partners, assets and publications. They share the same evidence, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is lost between steps. More are on the way.

Funding calls

Know your fit before you commit.

Meritevo surfaces calls the moment they're published and scores each against your track record: Go, Consider or No-go, with the reasons spelled out. Every verdict cites the call text and your past work, so you can trust it and move fast.

  • Fit scored against your real history, not keywords.
  • Eligibility, deadlines and budget checked up front.
  • Every recommendation backed by citations you can open.

Proposal drafting

Draft in LaTeX. Think with a partner at your side.

Write in proper LaTeX with a structured outline, while Meritevo works in the margin: flagging the baseline a reviewer will ask for, surfacing evidence from your portfolio, tightening the argument. Suggestions you accept or dismiss, never silent rewrites.

  • Native LaTeX or a familiar document editor, your choice.
  • Margin notes that read like a critical reviewer.
  • Evidence pulled straight from your papers and past wins.
Project planner

Plan the budget next to the proposal.

Personnel costs come from real tariff tables, in Germany TVöD and TV-L, with travel and on-costs alongside them. Funder rules are checked live, so a per-category threshold is flagged before submission rather than after.

  • Personnel from TVöD/TV-L tables, not estimates.
  • Per-category funder thresholds checked as you plan.
  • AI drafts a first budget and reviews your numbers, every change staged as a diff you approve.
Real-time collaboration

Your whole team in the document, at once.

Co-author live in open formats, LaTeX, a document editor or Markdown, with shared cursors, inline comments and Go/No-go decisions in one place. No dead ends, no emailing versions around, no merge headaches.

Shared cursors

See co-authors type in real time, each with their own colour and name.

Inline comments

Discuss a sentence where it lives, resolved threads stay with the document.

Decisions, captured

Go, Consider or No-go, with a rationale your whole team can see and trust.

Also in the suite

Two more places Meritevo does the groundwork.

Ideas

Ideas that arrive already substantiated.

Develop a project idea grounded in your own evidence: every claim is cited back to your papers, your past proposals and your partners. By the time the idea reaches drafting, the argument is substantiated rather than asserted.

  • Every claim cited to a paper, proposal or partner.
  • Thin evidence flagged while the idea is still cheap to change.
  • Carries straight into the proposal outline, nothing re-keyed.
Partner network

The right consortium, from people you already know.

Meritevo maps your partners, their competencies and how closely you've worked together, then suggests who closes the gaps a specific call demands. Build a credible consortium in minutes, not weeks of inbox archaeology.

  • Suggestions matched to the call's missing competencies.
  • Relatedness scored from real collaboration history.
  • One click to add a partner straight into your draft.

Our mission
Our mission is simple: give every researcher their best chance to secure funding for their work.
Oliver Diekmeier

“I experienced the effort behind assembling great proposals first-hand during my PhD. Building on my experience as Leading Platform Architect at Mercedes-Benz AG, we have finally built the solution we always wanted: intelligent, context-rich and covering the full process, from the first call to the final submission.”

Oliver DiekmeierFounder
Open standards

Built on open standards. Yours to take anywhere.

Meritevo speaks the formats research already runs on. Write in LaTeX, collaborate in real time, and export to whatever your funder, your institution or your co-authors need. No proprietary lock-in, ever.

Your data and your documents remain portable by design. If you ever leave, you take everything with you in standard formats.

Data & trust

Your ideas stay yours. Your data stays in Germany.

Unpublished ideas, draft proposals and partner data are the most sensitive material a research group has. Meritevo is built around that fact.

Hosted in Germany

The platform and your documents run in German data centres, operated under German and EU law, GDPR included.

No training, ever

Your content is never used to train models, a strict rule with no exceptions. Our default models run under zero-retention terms: prompts and outputs are not stored.

EU-sovereign AI options

Meritevo supports multiple AI and LLM providers, so you choose where inference runs, right when you create a workspace. Default models are hosted in the US with zero retention; EU-sovereign options via TensorX and Nebius Token Factory are available and follow GDPR-related retention policies instead.

On-premise on request

Organization customers can run Meritevo on their own infrastructure. Talk to us about deployment options.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

How does the free trial work?

Pick Solo or Team, start with your email, no card. You get the full suite for 14 days. Afterwards your workspace becomes read-only until you subscribe; nothing is deleted and you can export everything.

Which funding sources does Meritevo monitor?

Today: the EU Funding & Tenders Portal (Horizon Europe, EIC, MSCA and other EU programmes), the German Förderportal des Bundes (BMFTR and other federal programmes) and the DFG. The list grows continuously; state programmes and foundations are next on the roadmap. If a source you rely on is missing, tell us.

How is the fit score computed?

Each call is compared against your workspace context: past proposals, publications, partners and your research profile. The verdict, Go, Consider or No-go, arrives with reasons, and every reason cites the call text and your own material so you can verify it.

What happens to my data?

It stays yours: your content is never used to train models, and the platform is hosted in Germany. Our default AI models run in the US under zero-retention terms; for EU-sovereign inference we work with TensorX and Nebius Token Factory, which follow GDPR-related retention policies instead. Import and export in standard formats are always possible; portability is a design principle, not a feature.

What exactly is an AI Credit?

A simplified currency for AI effort. Heavier actions, such as a full fit analysis or a drafted budget, cost more than light ones. Credits let us keep costs in check without imposing intransparent limits, and top-up packs never expire.

Can I import my existing proposals and publications?

Yes. Import DOCX and PDF documents, sync publications via ORCID and add partners as you go. The richer your workspace context, the better every score and suggestion becomes.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep full access until the end of your billing period. Afterwards your workspace becomes read-only: nothing is deleted, and you can export everything in standard formats for 90 days. We comply with German and EU law throughout, including the GDPR.

Can I switch between Solo and Team?

Yes, any time. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately and are prorated on your next invoice.
