Credentials

From the people who hired us


I worked with Peter and his team to build startup accelerators for early-stage health ventures across Central & Eastern Europe. What stood out was their ability to partner on equal terms, bring genuine access to top European tech and health ecosystem players, and navigate heavily regulated environments without losing the creative edge that makes innovation programs work. A rare combination.
Daren Wilson
Former General Manager and Director of Global Product Strategy at Roche and Novartis
At Slovenská sporiteľňa we were changing how a large bank finds and validates new ideas. Eva and Peter’s team designed a program with the goal to change how senior people in the organization think about innovation. Happy to recommend them for any C-level change makers.
Peter Krutil
Former CEO at Slovenská sporiteľňa
More from our clients
We value their prompt and open communication, their flexibility even in the hardest stages of preparation, and their systematic approach: after every submission we review the results together and get ready for the next project. We recommend Disruption Embassy to any company that wants to win in European innovation grant schemes.
Pavol Turčina
CEO & Founder at GOSPACE LABS
They worked as an extension of our team from day one. We always knew where the application stood and what the next steps were. Communication was fast and direct, no BS. Every question got an answer from someone with real experience in EU projects.
