About us

Building prosperity through knowledge , partnership , and action.

PTP advise helps entrepreneurs, NGOs and public institutions turn ideas into tangible results.

Our work doesn’t start or end with securing money – it starts with understanding your vision and ends with a delivered project.

partners across public & private industries

Born from a belief that great projects require more than funding, we’ve built not only an in‑house team but a network of domain‑specific experts.

Because PTP advise is built around this network, we’re well positioned to serve knowledge‑intensive entrepreneurs and firms. This model of matching tailored expertise to each project allows us to deliver highly specialised knowledge instead of generic advice, ensuring that innovators in high‑tech, R&D or other knowledge‑based sectors get the precise guidance they need to translate ideas into successful ventures.

By matching experts to each engagement, we can support knowledge‑intensive business services (KIBS) – organisations that rely on professional expertise to underpin the business processes of other companies – with the right mix of insight and technical know‑how.

What we do?

By combining these competencies and our network of specialists, PTP advise becomes your partner in navigating the entire lifecycle of a project – turning a concept into a well‑analysed opportunity and then into a successfully executed endeavour.

S tvrtkom surađujemo od 2021. godine i zajedno smo realizirali više projekata – od pribavljanja bespovratnih sredstava za razvojne projekte do povoljnih financiranja za investicijske projekte. Za sada imamo 100 % success rate!

Još važnije od samog rezultata je način rada: Marija, Mia i cijeli tim vode nas kroz pripremu projekata i administraciju izuzetno profesionalno i proaktivno. Brinu se da mi imamo što manje posla, da ništa ne izostane i da se ništa ne zaboravi.

Suradnja je jednostavna, ugodna i učinkovita. Iskrena preporuka!

Suradnja s Marijom i Miom je efikasna, lagana i ugodna. Stvari se rješavaju s entuzijazmom i na vrijeme, uz obostrano uvažavanje i spremnosti na kompromise u okviru mogućnosti. Vidljivo je njihovo iskustvo, otvorenost i spremnost za prilagodbu. Komunikacija je koncizna, jednostavna i jasna, uz naglasak na sljedeće korake i rješavanje problema ili nejasnoća.

Preuzeli su projekt koji je već bio u tijeku i u dosta nezgodnoj fazi. Brzo su pohvatali konce, unijeli red i pomogli nam da napokon krenemo kako treba. Uštedjeli nam su nam gomilu vremena i novca.
