Equity & Private Capital
Connect with potential angel investors, explore funding in exchange for a minority stake, or raise debt through family offices and private capital providers. We help you prepare and structure the right funding conversation.
You do not need to take your company public to explore these funding options.
Three ways to raise capital
Two routes involve selling part ownership. The third is borrowing, with interest and repayment. We help you work out which conversation to have.
Have a startup with a clear business model and growth potential? We help you prepare your investment proposal and connect with potential angel investors whose interests match your business.
What angel investors usually look for
Common uses of angel funding
You may be able to raise funds by offering an investor a small ownership stake in your company—for example, 5%, depending on the agreed valuation and investment terms. We help prepare your financials, present the opportunity and coordinate investor discussions.
Illustrative ownership after investment
Looking for business funding through private capital providers? We help suitable businesses explore debt from family offices and other potential lenders, based on their cash flows, funding purpose and repayment capacity.
How debt works
Funds for an agreed purpose
Interest and repayment as agreed
Debt typically involves interest and repayment rather than selling shares. Security and other terms depend on the funding structure; some structures include conversion or equity-linked rights.
