A successful round is not just a cheque: it is the right investor, the right valuation and a balanced agreement. We prepare your file, organise competition and negotiate at your side through to closing.
Let's discuss your project →Raising is not an end in itself: it is a means, justified when the project exceeds self-financing capacity.
The market is responding; you need to recruit, open markets, industrialise customer acquisition. Equity finances an acceleration the bank will not finance alone.
Production tools, technology platform, certifications: heavy investments, ahead of revenues, that call for patient capital.
Seed or Series A: the first round shapes the cap table for all the following ones. Valuation and agreement mistakes are paid for over a long time.
Private debt, public financing, convertible bonds: a round can be structured as a mix to limit dilution — provided the instruments are orchestrated.
Investors see hundreds of files. Yours must be clear, credible — and create competitive tension.
How much to raise, to finance what, over what horizon: the fundraising strategy and the narrative that carries it, anchored in your numbers.
A defensible business plan, deck and data room: documentation that answers investors' questions before they are asked.
Funds, family offices, business angels, public financers: those whose thesis, stage and ticket sizes match your file — approached in the right order.
Meetings, managing feedback, negotiating term sheets: valuation, governance, liquidity clauses. Competition between investors makes the difference.
Due diligence, legal documentation, closing. Then the investor relationship begins: reporting, milestones, preparing the next step.
Valuation, liquidation preferences, governance: the headline price does not tell the whole story of what you are giving up.
Funds eliminate quickly. A structured file, solid numbers and anticipated answers put your project at the top of the pile.
Investment thesis, sector value-add, behaviour in difficult times: you are choosing a partner for several years, not just a financer.
The clauses of the shareholders' agreement weigh as much as the valuation. We negotiate them with your advisers to preserve your ability to lead and create value.
Generally 6 to 9 months from scoping to closing. The timetable depends on the preparation of the file, the company's stage and the responsiveness of the investors approached.
It depends on stage, traction, sector and recent comparable deals — and ultimately on competitive tension between investors. Too high a valuation can cost dearly at the next round: we look for the fair, financeable valuation.
There is no single rule: the point is to keep enough capital and governance to lead and stay motivated over time, while giving the investor a fair share. An equity/debt mix can limit dilution.
The team first, then market momentum, demonstrated traction and the clarity of the use of funds. A file that anticipates their questions builds confidence.
It depends on the nature of the need: debt finances what predictable cash flows can repay; equity finances risk and acceleration. The right answer is often a combination of both.
Thirty minutes to assess the feasibility of your round and the path to get there — with no commitment.
