How it works
From a daily scan of every donor pipeline to a fully drafted, partner-backed proposal — here is the machinery behind it.
The market is moving quickly
There is more opportunity here than most companies realise.
Every year, governments, development banks, foundations, and impact investors put billions toward food security, clean energy, water, and other critical challenges — much of it meant for private companies with the expertise to deliver. Most of those companies never see it. Cooperatr changes that, handling everything from finding the right opportunities and writing the proposal to managing delivery, reporting, and compliance once the work is won.
A Global Gateway tender for your sector closes this month — and most European SMEs will never know it existed.
AECID’s budget more than doubled since 2021 to €592M in 2024, funding projects in West Africa and Latin America where European exporters have a direct advantage.
Development finance organisations that previously worked with USAID are actively seeking new European implementing partners.
Spain launched FEDES in January 2026 — a new instrument mobilising private capital alongside the World Bank, IDB, and IFAD. Most Spanish SMEs have never heard of it.
How it works
We do not wait for you to look. We watch the pipeline for you.
Most platforms hand you a search bar and leave you scrolling. Cooperatr indexes every donor pipeline daily, reverse-matches candidate companies against each tender, and surfaces the pairings that are actually winnable — with named warm-intro routes when they exist.
Index every pipeline daily
A continuous crawler pulls fresh tenders from TED, SAM.gov, and bilateral donor portals — about 300 new EU notices a day. Sector-tagged on ingest using CPV codes plus keyword matching across eight languages so non-English titles still land in the right bucket.
Reverse-match against your network
For each filtered tender, the engine pulls candidate SMEs — warm-intro contacts from your LinkedIn network first, then sector and geography fit. A senior-strategist layer scores each pairing on sector, geography, capability, and size with a corpus-grounded rationale.
Surface only what is winnable
Top-scoring pairings show up in your weekly review with a calibrated rationale, a suggested partner stack, and explicit risks. You see the matches worth a conversation — not the long tail of notices that are technically open but already politically spoken-for.
Push mode rolls out to customer pipelines in 2026. Today, every Cooperatr account gets the pull-mode Discovery Engine for designing cooperation projects from scratch — push subscriptions and the warm-intro layer open later this year.
Under the hood
A project design engine — not a grant finder.
The engine cross-references 47+ public finance instruments with private market signals, trade corridors, and political cooperation agendas to design projects at the intersection — where public funding meets private strategy and real economic momentum.
Deep company intelligence
An adaptive interview maps your real capabilities, partnerships, certifications, and market position — not just your sector. The engine needs to know what you can deliver, not just what you want to bid on.
10 strategic angles in parallel
Ten agents work your profile simultaneously across public instruments, private capital, corporate offtakers, diaspora networks, and blended-finance structures. Each explores a different path to a viable cooperation project.
Senior-partner curation
A judgment layer reviews all ten project concepts like a senior partner at a development finance firm — merging overlapping plays, cutting weak ones, re-ranking by strategic viability, and writing a cross-cutting advisor note.
Sector-specialist proposal drafting
When you commit to a project concept, the engine routes it to a domain specialist — agrifood, cleantech, health, infrastructure, digital, or circular economy — who drafts a full proposal grounded in sector-specific regulation, named standards, and realistic budgets.
Every output is a designed cooperation project with named instruments, identified partners, private-sector alignment, and a concrete path forward. The compliance layer — sanctions, CSDDD, GDPR, and HRDD screening per consortium partner — is rolling out next, because the due diligence that kills bids is the due diligence that gets skipped.
Working examples
A water-engineering SME that had never bid abroad.
A Spanish firm spent fifteen years perfecting drip-irrigation and borehole monitoring for domestic farms. That know-how maps directly onto Global Gateway and AECID rural-water programmes in West Africa — but no one on the team had ever read a tender notice, let alone built a consortium, and they assumed those budgets were reserved for multinational engineering groups.
It is exactly the profile these programmes were created to fund. Cooperatr surfaced the right water-access call, shaped the project around the firm’s monitoring technology, wrote the proposal, and introduced a vetted in-country operator to anchor delivery.
The engineers never left the workshop — the opportunity, the paperwork, and the partnerships were handled end to end.
