What a typical engagement looks like
Every engagement runs three or six months and follows one of two tracks. Pick a track to see how the months unfold. The exact scope is set on our first call, around where your company is today.
We build the plan and the story, then open doors. You get a defined number of warm introductions to active investors, scoped to your raise, and we are on the call when we make each one. We advise on how you track and manage the pipeline; you own it.
We build the plan, the story, and the materials, and we prep you for every conversation. You run outreach yourself, with us in your corner before and after each meeting, and we join your investor calls when available.

The two tracks side by side
| What you get | Advisory only | Advisory plus warm introductions |
|---|---|---|
| Narrative, deck, and materials | Included | Included |
| Ideal Investor Profile and target list | Included | Included |
| Capital raising calendar | Included | Included |
| Prep and debrief for key conversations | Included | Included |
| Warm investor introductions | Not included | A defined number, scoped to your raise |
| Us on your investor calls | When available | Every introduction we make, plus others when available |
| Investor pipeline and CRM | You run it; we advise on setup and tracking | You run it; we advise on setup and tracking |
| How we are paid | Retainer only | Retainer only |
Both tracks are retainer based, at a fraction of what traditional advisory firms charge. We never take a success fee, and our compensation is never contingent on capital raised.
Not actively raising yet? We refine your narrative and materials until they are ready. When you are set to raise, you move straight into a full package with the groundwork already done.
