We're on a mission to streamline the fundraising process for the next generation of European startups
As a serial entrepreneur myself I know the pain that entrepreneurs go through, the countless hours spent without knowing the outcome, the sacrifices in their personal lives & relationships, always striving for the goal of building something great. If you have that fire inside of you, the chip on your shoulder, the desire to succeed: I'm happy to fight together with you & help you on your journey to crush it in the smartest way possible by avoiding crucial mistakes, so your time spent is worth it.
Depending on how far you are already, we will jump into the process at any of those steps.
We will check for your numbers in order to make sure that your ambition is rooted in reality, and we can actually help you raise the round.
Setting a wrong ask & valuation can kill your round before it even starts. We make sure that both the ask & valuation actually matches market level for your current stage.
We will make sure that the pitch deck entails all crucial information, but most importantly, *leave out* stuff that is harmful and will shut the door in your face before you even had a chance to pitch.
We will make introductions to warm contacts in our network. This will include personal calls on behalf, but otherwise directly through email.
We run lists together & analyze the feedback gathered from the calls so far, in order to make appropriate changes for upcoming calls.
Getting a term sheet is one of the happiest parts of fundraising, but it still requires some negotiation and other legal discussions. We're happy to help you out with that.
Free Pitch Deck + P&L Screening. We will look over your shoulder and tell you quickly, if we can help you in your current fundraise.
Strategy Session. We will conduct a strategy session together & lay out the path to your success.
Investor List. We will share our investor list for the 'target audience' and compare it with yours, so we can decide together wether to proceed to a collaboration.
