VENTURE BUILDING AND GROWTH
HOW CAN I HELP?
Fundraising is a full-time commitment that can be extremely challenging to manage alongside building a successful business.
Choosing the right investor can make or break the business, as this relationship often extends for 3, 5, or even 10 years during the company's growth. It's essential to find an investor who can help expand your business, offer diverse insights, and provide support through both prosperous and challenging times.
FUNDRAISING STRATEGY
Creating a winning fundraising strategy is more than just compiling a list of investors. It’s about what is right for your startup at the phase you’re currently at. We will identify if your case is a fit for business angels, VCs, strategic investors, family offices or public funding.
FUNDRAISING & WARM INTROS
Throughout 40+ years combined in startup investing, we have built a substantial global investor network. What differentiates successful fundraising is personal reputation, direct connections and warm intros. We do not want to spend your time or the time of investors that are not a match for your business profile.
FUNDRAISING MATERIALS
We help you prepare impactful fundraising materials, incl. investor deck, financial plan, and go-to-market strategy, that are not only compelling but also distinctive. More active investors receive thousands of pitch decks every year, and spend only 2 minutes and 30 seconds per deck on average, which shows that the materials have to be super clear with strong advantage.
STRATEGIC BUSINESS ADVICE
Raising funds is just one part of building a business, so it’s essential to stay focused on the big picture and plan strategically for long-term success. Various other factors contribute to business success, incl. identifying product-market fit, acquiring the first 10, 100, and 1000 customers, and establishing a profitable business model.
