What it is

Everything you need to walk into the room ready.

We are hands-on operating partners, working alongside you on a weekly sprint to get you fully fundraise-ready. This is not generic advice or advisory sessions — we do the build with you.

We get your data room up to the standard investors and corporate lawyers actually want to see, and we get you pitch-ready to deliver — no matter the room, the format or the way you do it.

We develop the full fundraise strategy, target the right investors at home and abroad, put you through real diligence rigour, build a data room to the highest standard, and prepare you to pitch through a media-training-inspired lens.

Frequently asked questions

Fundraising Prep, in detail.

It is built for founders preparing to go out and raise, who want their narrative, numbers and materials investor-ready before the first meeting. It suits teams with genuine traction who are heading into a round — typically up to a Series A — and want a focussed sprint that ends in a fundable position rather than open-ended advice.

As with every engagement, the work is scoped to where you actually are and calibrated to what is realistic and achievable for the team.

No. Fundraising Prep is a hands-on operating engagement, not a course or a curriculum. We build the strategy, the materials and the data room with you and get you pitch-ready — you come away with a fundable round, not a certificate.

We build a curated shortlist of investors whose thesis, ticket size and open rounds match where your startup and raise actually are. Each name comes with the rationale for the fit and the angle to lead with, so your outreach is targeted rather than scattergun.

Where we have a genuine, relevant relationship we are glad to open the door, but the engagement never depends on it. We do not take a finder’s fee if an investor we shortlist goes on to invest — the quality of the shortlist and your readiness are what the work is built on.

From early traction through to teams preparing for a Series A. If you are unsure whether your stage fits, get in touch and we will tell you honestly.

Fundraising Prep runs to a flat, fixed fee set against the scope agreed in the diagnostic, typically across an eight week programme. The fee is usually split 50/50 between kick-off and completion. We do not take equity, nor a portion of the raise. We additionally do not take a finder’s fee if any of the investors we shortlist for you end up investing in your round.
