We check the numbers before a capital raise.

You've built something real — revenue, a team, a business that works. The next move is capital that takes it further, or getting it properly ready to sell for what it's actually worth.

We have founded, fundraised and done deals ourselves — we know exactly what gets picked apart, because we have been on both sides of that process. We have raised capital as founders and reviewed businesses as advisers. We have sat across the table from buyers and prepared vendors for that process.

Nothing about your business goes further than it needs to. We operate on a strict need-to-know basis. The work we do for you stays between us.

We have raised capital as founders and prepared vendors for sale.

The advisers who have only ever advised will tell you what it should look like in theory. We tell you what it actually looks like when the investor's team goes through the model, when the buyer's lawyers open the data room, when the deal is live and something comes up.

We have been in those rooms. That is the difference.

We only take on work where we can make a difference, so the first step is understanding what you need.

The due diligence questionnaire that checks whether a deal is actually ready — before an investor ever sees it. We identify what will be challenged and address it first.
