Venture Capital / Angel Funding Strategy

Starting a new company, bringing a new product to market, or expanding business lines requires investment capital. Our strategy consulting firm is adept at assisting startups and early-stage, high-potential companies secure the funding necessary to fuel startup development or expand operations. Our Managing Partners have been through the funding process themselves with startups of their own. They know the pitfalls, they know many key players, and they know how to successfully market business plans to potential investors.

Raising venture capital or finding a suitable angel investor can take the better part of a year, distracting focus from your customers and operations. We offer strategic services that alleviate the stress of marketing to potential investors and accelerate the time frame to secure funding.

Your pitch deck and/or your business plan usually decides whether or not angel investors and venture capital firms will pursue further discussions with you. We create marketable business plans, pitch decks and presentation materials that get attention from suitable investors. We also prepare you for the make or break meeting with interested investors. Lastly, we often serve as a broker and negotiate investment terms with angel investors and venture capital firms.
