The Business Model

Research conducted on pre-seed pitch decks has shown investors are spending 24% less time on the deck, focusing on crucial sections such as business model or product. Our process begins with translating your business model into investors’ language to maximize readability and clarity. This means turning your early sketches into a refined model of revenue generation and sharpening up any potential weaknesses. A successful business model pitch tells a clear narrative about your strategy and revenue streams.

Invest In Your Investment Assets

Nothing is more important to a startup upon fundraising as a proper profile. But a profile with just business information is simply not enough. We help you succeed by building a comprehensive data room showcasing your full potential with quantitative measurements. From legal to tax to financials, we will assist you every step of the way to prepare for your first due diligence.

Know Your Worth

Determining how much money to raise can be tricky, raise too much money, and you risk over-diluting yourself; raise too little, and you risk having too few resources to successfully raise your next round. Your valuation model will be the fundamental cornerstone of your fundraising strategy. Yet for early stage businesses with little evidence to go on, valuations seem more like an art than science. Our seasoned financial experts have plenty of experience working with startups and will make sure you get the most bang for your buck.
