Why Manna?
| Traditional Consultancy Pain Points | Manna's Automated Support |
|---|---|
| Multiple back-and-forth meetings because consultants don't understand the project scope. | AI-Powered Eligibility Check: Analyzes your R&D documentation and project descriptions against RVO criteria, quickly flagging potentially eligible activities. |
| Drafting applications takes several weeks with the client filling in the main R&D sections. No clear value for money. | Automated Description Enhancement: Manna analyzes your technical input and refines project descriptions using best practices from hundreds of successful applications. It strengthens technical challenges and ensures compliance with RVO's specific language requirements. |
| No clear understanding of the final benefit received. | Instant Return Calculation: The platform instantly calculates your potential tax benefits (first bracket rate, starter rate, costs/expenses vs. flat rate) based on project details, enabling better financial planning. |
| Traditional consultancies typically only support obtaining the WBSO, not compliance, which causes reduced payouts due to increased audit risk. | Streamlined Time Tracking Tools: Manna has developed a compliance tool to support clients with their audit requests, reducing the risk of failed audits and lower WBSO payouts. |
| No flexibility in multiple applications. The consultant prefers to submit just one application. | Quarterly Functionality: Manna supports clients with complex project requirements and offers flexibility with quarterly applications. |
| Lack of time to write and comply with WBSO requirements | Manna's Automated End-to-End Support: Manna solves the problem of insufficient time to write the WBSO. We do this by automating the entire application/compliance process. With a complete application in ~2 hours. |
| Lack of understanding OR clarifications by RVO leading to longer delays and withdrawn applications | Automated Description Enhancement: Manna analyzes your technical input and refines project descriptions using best practices from hundreds of successful applications. It strengthens technical challenges and ensures compliance with RVO's specific language requirements. |

“We decided to work with Manna after discovering they were helping similar companies obtain the WBSO subsidy. With the support of their tool, we were successful in our application and look forward to identifying future opportunities for InspectT. We would recommend working with Manna if you don't have time yourself!”
Dr. Giulia Giubertoni
InspectT
“Manna was invaluable in helping identify and shortlist relevant subsidies for our startups here at Fresh Ventures Studio. In particular, the Manna Scan helped us outline the core requirements of the subsidies with clear milestones and they are now helping two startups with the "Collaborating on innovation (EIP)" subsidy. Something we wouldn't have found without their support. We would recommend Manna to other ecosystems that don't have time to help their portfolios with subsidy support.”
