The Walmer team has been absolutely fantastic with dealing with our claim! When we first signed up, my biggest concern was that the R&D process was going to be fairly disruptive. In fact, it was pretty smooth sailing with us and we felt we were really connected with the team. Another biggest concern of mine was the fact that I didn’t know much of the R&D terminology, but thanks to the Walmer team, they made it very straightforward for me to comprehend what exactly they expect from me and how the process occurs. Walmer Group has done most of the legwork so there wasn’t as much we had to do on our behalf during the entire process!

When the Walmer team asked us to jump on a technical call, our CTO was dreading the concept of having to sit down and endure an hour of explaining the business. However, he said that it was in fact the most enjoyable experience of his life. He felt like he was speaking the same language and left the call buzzing! We recommend Walmer Group to anyone looking to accelerate their business through innovation funding.
