About Coup
In 2021, founders Arne Wittern and Erik Wittern recognized a significant problem in Germany: innovative startups were missing out on billions in available R&D government funding due to complex bureaucratic hurdles. Arne brought his startup experience from ImmobilienScout24 and Contorion, while Erik contributed his research background from IBM Research, and together they founded Coup to democratize access to public funding opportunities.
Coup has developed a powerful software platform combined with expert consulting services that simplifies the entire research allowance (Forschungszulage) application process. The platform automates time tracking, documentation, and report generation using AI-based technology, while their team of R&D consultants works directly with startups to structure and submit compelling funding applications. Since inception, the Berlin-based company has helped over 300 customers secure more than 150 million euros in government subsidies, maintaining a remarkable 95% success rate.
Today, Coup serves as the go-to partner for tech companies seeking German R&D funding, offering a seamless experience that transforms what was once a daunting bureaucratic process into an accessible and efficient workflow. The company continues to expand its reach, helping innovative businesses across Germany unlock the financial freedom they need to drive technological advancement and competitive growth.
