Startup Support under the Startup Law (Jaunuzņēmumu atbalsts)
Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA)
The operating instrument of Latvia's Startup Law, for Latvian capital companies with high growth potential that have either raised qualified venture capital or are developing an innovative product ready for early-stage testing. Combines a payroll grant of up to 45 % for highly qualified staff with reduced social contributions. Support runs 12 months, extended to 24 where at least EUR 150 000 of early-stage VC has been raised, and up to five years in total.
From idea to completed grant — five steps
- Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
- Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in Startup Support under the Startup Law (Jaunuzņēmumu atbalsts) and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
- Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
- Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
- Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
