THE PROBLEM

BASED ON EXPERIENCE, FEEDBACK FROM STARTUPS, AS WELL AS COUNTLESS ANALYSES AND RESEARCHES WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUES

Expertise

Every startup is uniquely exceptional and demands a personalized approach. This reality means that even the best founders often struggle to prepare the appropriate set of data for funding purposes

Challenges in breaking through

+/- 95% of startups never get the opportunity to pitch to investors, while investors face significant challenges in identifying the most promising opportunities

Startups frequently lack insight into the reasons for their rejection, as funding entities often do not have the resources to provide detailed, constructive feedback

Funding Readiness

When a startup breaks through, funding entities require a comprehensive set of data, analyses to proceed with the funding process. However, many startups fall short, as their data often lacks the necessary quality and precision. First impressions are crucial and venture capitalists have little tolerance for uncertainty or hesitation

Lack of integrated and interdisciplinary experts

We work with experts who remain objective, regardless of your startup’s current situation or future outcomes. Our focus is not on subjective evaluations of your investment attractiveness but on delivering effective and practical support. The financing decisions are left to professional investment entities.

THE MOST COMMON Q&A

1. Can you guarantee that we will secure funding?

No, our primary objective is to optimize your chances of securing funding. Preparation is a key investment criterion for funding entities – investors want to ensure you are fully aware and adequately prepared before making a financial commitment

The final investment decision by a venture capital fund is solely at the discretion of its management team. While we cannot guarantee funding, we bring expertise as professionals from various funds and consulting firms who are deeply involved in investment processes – making us uniquely positioned to understand and address your needs effectively

2. What is the cost of your services?

Since we are building a “bridge” between you and investors (venture capital funds, etc.), we have adopted a flexible pricing approach for each startup

What does this mean?

We tailor particular types of services and experts to the startup’s needs

3. Why should we choose your company?

What is our competitive advantage?

  • 1) Quality-to-price ratio
  • 2) Access to a diverse range of experts in the market
  • 3) Our professionals are actively involved in startup processes on a daily basis, covering investment, acceleration and consulting processes

 

What are the options available in the market when seeking this type of assistance?

  • A) Large consulting firms such as EY, Deloitte, PwC – Their advantage is that they can provide materials of appropriate quality, but their cost is the highest among all
  • B) Local consulting firms – Typically, they do not exclusively focus on startups, so the materials they produce may not always meet the actual needs of investors; they simply handle everything and anything
  • C) Individual experts – Probably the best option in terms of the balance between the quality of the prepared materials and cost – and this is the our specialty, we gather these individual experts 🙂
  • D) Few startups have a team member capable of preparing such materials; unfortunately, this is more of an exception than the standard

“Practice with us, succeed with investors”

It's better to fail in front of us than in front of investors, where you only get one chance to make an impression. Securing a meeting with an investor is a rare and valuable opportunity - let's make sure you're fully prepared when the time comes.
