Who this is for

Most founders raising capital already have traction and real investor interest. What is missing is a real plan for who to talk to, the introductions to get there, and a narrative that holds up once you are in the room.

We work best with founders whose product is technical or whose business model takes some explaining. If people light up once they get it, but getting them there takes too long, we can help.

Our solution

We bring combined capabilities across capital raising strategy, narrative, and positioning. Years spent building direct relationships with active pre-seed and seed investors give us real speed: warm introductions, not cold outreach into a static list. It is the same network we would use if we were raising our own capital.

We are founders too, so we scope every engagement to what your company needs right now. As trust and results build, the work goes deeper. You work directly with both of us the entire way.

Built for founders, priced for founders

Most advisory firms charge between $7,500 and $15,000 a month. Ours is a fraction of that.

We were both founders before this, and we know what it is like to be taken advantage of: big retainers, success fees carved out of your round, and not much to show for either.

We built MSP to be the firm we wished we had. If you have some runway but cannot afford a traditional firm's price, you are exactly who we are here for. Retainer only, never a success fee, and scoped to what you need right now.
