How it Works

1-to-1 Info Sessions

Schedule dedicated 1-to-1 (1 hour) sessions with our team who will assist you in various areas throughout your fundraising journey. Info sessions are aimed at providing clarity and valuable insights to prepare founders for their fundraising journey.

Investment-Readiness

To increase fundraising success rate, our team will focus on helping founders prepare their companies to become "investment-ready". We cover various areas of preparation, ranging from pitching, business proposals, term sheets, financial modelling, deal structuring, and lots more.

Investor Introductions

We introduce investment-ready companies to our network of investors, which range from institutional funds (VC / PE) and high-net-worth individuals (angels). We also play a "mediator" role to further increase the success rate of closing investment deals.

Support Areas

Insights on Investors

The key to raising funds successfully is to understand exactly what investors want. We provide in-depth insights on this area to prepare founders beforehand.

Investment Proposal/Deck

Your pitch deck (business proposal) is the first document investors will interface with in your fundraising journey. We help you build a great one that is simple, clear, and attractive to investors.

Effective Pitching

Great storytelling moves people. We help you craft a powerful pitch that not only inspires, but communicates your long term vision to bring investors on-board.

Financial Modelling

Investors care a lot about returns. We work with you to build a realistic and simple financial model that helps investors gain a clear overview of your goals and where their funds will be allocated.

Due Diligence Process

The last thing we want is a deal to fall apart due to the due diligence process. We prepare companies to be ready (and more attractive to investors) after the due diligence process.

Term Sheets & Legal

What happens after an interested investor offers a term sheet? Often times founders aren't familiar with the legal terms and jargon used by investors. We help familiarize you with all this, as well as provide consult on structuring the deal better.

Deal Negotiation & Closing

We help you close the deal by playing a crucial role in mediating the discussions between investors and founders. Our goal is to ensure that both parties arrive at a middle ground where they are mutually satisfied.

Reporting & Correspondence

Once you close the deal, the next step is to produce results and to keep investors updated. We assist founders with executing this effectively via detailed reporting to ensure investors are constantly aware and satisfied.
