The grant supports establishing the local entity and building the first Austrian client base.\n2. **Scalability** — AI-augmented model means 1 team member can run what traditional agencies need 8 people for. Inherently scalable without proportional cost growth.\n3. **Innovation** — Multi-agent creative production is a genuinely novel service model. Not a branding agency, not a tech company — a new category.\n4. **Market timing** — European companies are actively seeking AI-forward creative partners. First-mover advantage in the DACH market for this model.\n5. **Validated revenue** — Not a concept. CE has paying clients at €50K+ ticket sizes. Lukas is bringing a proven model to a new market.\n\n───\n\n⚠️ OPEN QUESTIONS FOR LUKAS TO ANSWER\n\n1. **Self-employment status** — Is Lukas currently registered as self-employed anywhere? This could disqualify him.\n2. **Vienna residency** — Confirmed main/secondary address + how long?\n3. **CE legal structure** — Is CE an established legal entity? How is Lukas formally connected to it? The grant covers _pre-formation_ founders.\n4. **The pitch framing** — Is Lukas applying to launch CE's Vienna arm as a new entity, or launching his own CE-adjacent venture? These have different framing implications.\n5. **Team applying together?** — Up to 3 people can apply (€24K total).
