The MSME schemes worth your paperwork in 2026
Four schemes, what they actually fund, and the documentation that gets applications rejected.
ReadOur Team
A small senior team, guided by mentors who have built and funded technology businesses.



Our Genesis
ehydra started on a workshop floor, building hydrogen powertrains for commercial vehicles. The engineering was the part we knew how to do. What surprised us was everything after it — the grant paperwork, the pricing, the diligence questions we had never been asked before.
We watched the same thing happen to every team around us. Brilliant hardware, stalled at the point where it needed to become a business. Nobody was standing in that gap.
So we became the thing we needed. One team that can weld a fixture on Tuesday and sit in a term-sheet conversation on Wednesday, without either half getting lost in translation.
“A prototype that can't be manufactured, priced, or funded is a very expensive hobby.”

Compliance & IP
We sign before you show us anything. Mutual by default, and we are happy to use your paper instead of ours.
Everything we create for you — CAD, firmware, schematics, test data — is assigned to you on final payment. In writing.
We help with prior-art searches and drafting technical claims. The filing goes in your name.
