Questions
Capital raising FAQ
Common questions from founders, owners and project sponsors.
What is the minimum raise you work on?
Equity raises typically start at USD 5 million for operating companies and USD 20 million for commercial real estate projects. Smaller raises are considered very selectively.
Do you work with startups?
Selectively. We consider early-stage companies with breakthrough technology, defence or government contract capability, or significant government grant backing.
Who are the investors?
Single- and multi-family offices, private equity funds and other investment groups across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. We only introduce a deal to investors whose stated mandate it fits.
How long does a raise take?
It depends on how ready the company is and the size of the round. Having investor materials, a model and a data room prepared before outreach is the biggest factor in shortening the process.
How are you paid?
Investor package preparation and fundraising strategy are done on a retainer. Placement is generally paid on a success basis once the round is financed.
