Your fundraising timeline

We structure your fundraising process in 4 stages, so you don’t waste time in getting funded.

Preparation

A well-prepared fundraising process is key to maintain momentum and convince VCs, Business Angels and strategic investors. We analyse your equity story, pitch deck, market sizing, financials, valuation, KPIs and competitors to craft the perfect fundraising strategy for your startup. We prepare all key documents using best practices to ensure they provide a compelling and coherent story for investors.

Investor Approach

We create a strong investor pipeline of at least ~100 suitable investors, many with the opportunity to provide warm, personal introductions. We cluster the investors into cohorts of various priorities to ensure iteration opportunities, fine-tuning the pitch along the way. We keep track of the pipeline for you, support your outreach, draft investor updates and communicate a clear timeline for your fundraising process.

Due Diligence

We help you focus on what matters during due diligence. We provide guidelines on content and structure of the dataroom, help you fill the dataroom, prepare session decks and answer investor questions.

Negotiation / Signing / Closing

The day has come, you have received multiple term sheets. We help to coordinate all parties involved, from co-investors to lawyers. We support your negotiation and make sure the process of signing and closing is running smoothly. Congratulations, your startup is funded!
