Accacia

For incubators, universities, public bodies, associations and programmes

More founders supported, without more manual work

Accacia brings technology and consultancy to the people who support founders. It matches every project in your portfolio against the funding opportunities open in Portugal, the European Union and the Portuguese-speaking countries, proposes the business plan with the basis for each figure, and shows your team, in one view, where each project stands and who needs help.

What the platform does

Three things that take up your team's time today

Technology where it can. Human experience where it must.

On the more demanding projects, the Accacia team adds feasibility studies, application reviews, programme design and training. These are contracted separately.

  1. Verified opportunities, matched to each project

    Accacia matches each project's country, sector, stage and needs against funding calls, credit lines, public tenders and accelerator programmes, and says what fits and what is missing. Each result shows who funds it, how much, until when, the official source and the date it was verified. Your team stops maintaining the spreadsheet of calls.

  2. Business plans a bank can read

    Business model, market, strategy, operations and financial projections, section by section. Accacia proposes each figure with the basis it comes from; the founder corrects and confirms. Your team receives plans with one structure, instead of reviewing twenty different documents.

  3. The whole portfolio in one view

    Your team follows each participant's activity and progress, sees the missing information and who needs support, and gets a consolidated view of the projects in each programme, without asking for reports.

What we get asked before moving ahead

We already use a programme-management platform.
Accacia is not one. It does not manage internal applications, attendance or assessments; it does what those platforms do not: reads funding calls, matches them to each project and builds the plan. It can live alongside the one you already have.
Our founders are not technical.
Five plain-language questions and a plan that moves one section at a time. Anyone who has filled in a spreadsheet can use Accacia, and your team sees where each person stopped.
We do not want the AI deciding for us.
It does not. Accacia proposes each figure with the basis it comes from; the person corrects and confirms. Eligibility and approval always belong to the body responsible for the call.
We have no budget for another subscription.
The diagnosis is free and without commitment. What the platform costs depends on the number of programmes and projects; after seeing the portfolio, if it makes sense for both sides, we send a concrete proposal.

Who is behind it

Before creating Accacia, I spent almost twenty years doing by hand the work it now automates. Since 2007 I have structured business plans, feasibility studies and funding applications in Angola and Portugal. Accacia exists so that a small team can support more projects without lowering the quality of that support.

Frequently asked questions

What is the free portfolio diagnosis?

You tell us what kind of organisation you are, how many projects and programmes you support and how you do it today. Within 48 working hours we reply, to the email you give, with what Accacia would do with that portfolio, what it would not, and the next steps if it makes sense for both sides. There is no commitment.

Which countries and sources does the Radar cover?

As of October 2026, Portugal, the European Union and the Portuguese-speaking countries, with international sources such as the World Bank. Every opportunity shows its official source and the date it was verified; the conditions are always confirmed at the source.

Does Accacia confirm the eligibility of projects?

No. It shows what fits, what is missing and the official source of each call. Eligibility and approval are always decided by the body responsible for the call.

How do the founders in our programme get in?

They create an account with name, email and password and the project is linked to your programme. They describe the project in five short questions and your team sees each one's progress in the dashboard.

How much does the platform cost?

It depends on the number of programmes and projects supported. After the diagnosis, if it makes sense, we send a proposal for your case. Large companies and consortia have a tailored Enterprise pilot.

What if we need human help?

The Accacia team adds what the platform does not do: feasibility studies, application reviews, programme design and sessions on funding opportunities. These are contracted separately.

More projects supported with the team you already have.
