Core services.
Fundraising
From experience, we know funding a startup is a combination of frustration, exasperation, and stress. “Massive highs and crushing lows.” We can’t fix it all, but we can make it a little less of all of the above.
Personal Network: We are the team that investors call for help with diligence and from this, we have a personal network of hundreds of investors that invest in pre-seed to Series A who trust us.
Prep work: We ensure investors feel knowledgeable about your business, so they can pitch it internally. Every aspect of your deck, story, and pitch is tuned for clarity and impact, making it easy for them to advocate for you.
Targeted audience: Fit matters more than volume. We carefully filter investor candidates to match your raise, business type, and preferences—so the right investors see the right opportunities. No pre-seed decks landing with Series B funds.
Experience: Five years of fundraising* has taught us a lot—starting with our own companies and now helping others. We’re grateful to run on referrals and repeat business that come from learning through both wins and losses.
Success: We wouldn’t be here if it didn’t work. More wins than losses, with clients returning and referring others. Our growth is thanks to their trust and success, and our aim is to make your journey smoother than ours was.
