The Kronis ecosystem just got bigger
Today we’re launching the Cascade Funding Matcher — the first publicly available module within Kronis’s Search pillar, and a significant step forward in our mission to make European grant intelligence genuinely useful for the organisations that need it most.
What is the Cascade Funding Matcher?
The Cascade Funding Matcher is an AI-powered tool that connects your organisation’s profile with active cascade funding open calls across Europe. You describe who you are — your sector, technology, size, location, and what you’re looking for — and the tool does the rest: it checks eligibility, scores your fit, and returns a ranked list of calls with actionable insights in under two minutes.
It lives at cascadefunding.eu/matcher, and it’s free to try.
But to understand why this matters, you need to understand where it sits within Kronis.
The four pillars of Kronis
Kronis is built around four core modules: Search, Apply, Financials, and PMO. Each one addresses a distinct pain point in the lifecycle of EU grant work.
- Search is about finding the right opportunities — quickly, accurately, and without wasting hours on manual portal browsing. The Cascade Funding Matcher is a tool within this pillar.
- Apply supports the actual process of submitting proposals: structuring applications, managing deadlines, coordinating teams.
- Financials brings clarity to the financial planning, reporting, and compliance side of EU-funded projects.
- PMO provides the project management layer — milestones, deliverables, partner coordination, and oversight across multiple grants simultaneously.
These four pillars are designed to work together. The goal is a seamless, intelligent environment where grant professionals can manage everything from discovery to delivery in one place.
The Cascade Funding Matcher is the first public face of that vision — and it lives in Search, where every grant journey begins.
Why we started with Search
Search is where the journey begins — and where most organisations lose time they simply cannot afford to lose.
Finding the right cascade funding call is harder than it sounds. There are dozens of active calls at any given moment, each with different eligibility criteria, thematic scopes, timelines, and funding structures. Doing this manually means opening multiple portals, cross-referencing requirements, eliminating non-fits, and building a shortlist. For a single organisation, that process can take two to three hours. For grant consultancies managing several clients at once, multiply that accordingly.
The Matcher eliminates that friction. It runs a legal eligibility check across every active call in its database and returns the full picture: matches ranked by relevance, and non-matches clearly labelled — with a plain-language explanation of exactly why they don’t fit. No more guessing. No more reading through full call documentation only to discover a disqualifying criterion buried in paragraph seven.
For every result, whether it’s a strong match or a clear non-fit, you get a score breakdown across three dimensions — domain alignment, technology fit, and organisational compatibility — plus a short strategic note covering what’s working in your favour, what the key challenge is, and what you’d need to apply successfully.
That’s not just a list. It’s the full landscape, clearly mapped.
