Mark Taylor

I'm Mark, co-founder of GrantHero and an Innovate UK grant specialist based in Reigate, UK.

I help innovative UK businesses secure R&D funding — I've won over £8 million in grants for clients and my own ventures, mainly through Innovate UK but also European programmes.

Before GrantHero, I worked at Innovate UK as a Growth Advisor, where around 80% of my work involved helping early-stage businesses with fundraising and grants. I'm also the IoD Ambassador for Funding and Grants in Surrey.

GrantHero compresses grant applications from 40+ hours to under 4, combining AI-assisted drafting with expert review from people who know what assessors actually fund.
