Interview with Paul Knecht, CEO & Co-Founder of Storytile
Background Information
Q: Can you provide a brief overview of your company and what you offer?
Paul Knecht: We are an owner-managed event agency specializing in the digital transformation of events. We guide our clients through every stage of event planning and execution. We manage online, hybrid, and in-person events for our clients, handling either specific components or the entire organization. We offer our services throughout Germany.
Q: What specific product or service from FUNDED have you used?
Paul Knecht: We used FUNDED’s Grant Support Service to apply for the research grant. The feedback and close guidance provided by FUNDED’s consultants were particularly valuable in this process.
Experience with FUNDED
Q: What challenges were you facing before using FUNDED?
Paul Knecht: The biggest challenge for us was understanding and navigating the bureaucratic requirements. The effort involved was simply too much for us as a company to handle on our own and thus presented a major hurdle that we would not have been able to overcome without FUNDED. By working with FUNDED, the effort became manageable, and we were able to continue focusing on our core business. FUNDED acts as a bridge between the bureaucracy and research-based companies.
Q: How would you rate your collaboration with FUNDED?
Paul Knecht: Working with FUNDED was a very positive experience. Their consistent feedback was particularly helpful: they kept asking questions and refining the details until the application’s content was clear, understandable, and compliant with funding requirements. At the same time, this gave us valuable insights into the processes involved in the application process.
