  "summary": "Portuguese AI startup Granter has successfully raised €1.6 million in a funding round to expand its AI-powered platform that simplifies access to European funding programmes. The round, led by 3XP Global through its Impact Innovation Fund, was supported by Celtis Venture Partners, Gateway Ventures, Deel, and angel investor Bracken Darrell. Granter's platform helps businesses identify funding opportunities, prepare applications, and manage funded projects, with a focus on SMEs and startups. The company's AI Grant Consultant now offers a chat-based interface, enabling organisations to interact directly with an AI agent for easier access to funding.
