What we build for each kind of raise

Each raise needs its own materials and its own investor list. Every card links to a live case.

    Later-stage rounds

    Deck, model, valuation and CIM for growth, crossover and strategic investors. Case: an energy platform raising $100M.

    Fund raises

    Fund deck and fund model for LPs: strategy, track record, fees, carry and returns. Case: a $100M multifamily fund.

    Real-asset and infrastructure projects

    Investment case and project model for banks, private investors and family offices. Case: a $100M+ nickel project.

    Debt and acquisition financing

    Lender materials built around cash flow, collateral and downside cases. Case: a management buyout, financed.

How we run a capital raise

  • Raise plan
  • Model and valuation
  • Investor materials
  • Investor list and outreach
  • Meetings and diligence
Decide how much to raise, and in what form

We start from what the money must fund. Then we set the amount, the mix of equity and debt, and the order in which to approach investors. You get: a raise plan and a timeline.

Numbers investors can test line by line

We build the financial model at company, project or fund level, with base and downside cases. A valuation sits on top where the raise needs one. You get: a model investors and lenders can check.

One story in every document

We write and design the deck. Where readers want more depth, we add a teaser and a CIM, or the fund deck LPs read first. You get: materials built on one set of numbers.

The right investors, in the right order

We research and rank the investors, lenders or LPs that fit your raise, then set up the outreach. For selected clients we make warm introductions from our 200+ VC relationships. Introductions are never guaranteed, and we are not brokers. You get: a ranked target list and outreach set-up.

Answers ready before investors ask

We prepare you for meetings, build the data room and draft answers to the hard questions. A raise takes 35–40 investor meetings on average, so plan in months, not weeks. You get: a data room, a Q&A bank and due diligence support.
