MEET THE TEAM
About our Founder
Funding Connection is led by Dagmar Breiling, a funding and business advisor specialising in funding readiness, business planning, and financial modelling for SMEs and entrepreneurs.
Dagmar works closely with startups and growing businesses to help them prepare credible, funder-aligned documentation that meets the expectations of banks, DFIs, grant funders, and private investors. Her work is grounded in practical experience and a clear understanding of what funders look for when assessing risk, viability, and sustainability. Rather than offering generic advice, Dagmar focuses on strengthening the fundamentals of each business — strategy, numbers, compliance, and presentation. Clients value her for her structured approach, clear communication, and ability to translate complex financial information into practical insights entrepreneurs can understand and use.
Dagmar has supported businesses across multiple sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, services, hospitality, and social enterprises, guiding them through funding preparation, submission, and capital-raising processes.
Funding Connection was established to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and real access to capital — by ensuring businesses are adequately prepared before approaching funders.
