01 — Fundraising & Financial Strategy

Raising capital is one of the highest-stakes activities your startup will undertake.

We bring institutional-grade financial expertise to the startup world: from pitch materials and financial modelling to investor targeting and round management.

The Challenge

When scientific credibility isn't enough to close a round

Most STEM founders are world-class scientists or engineers. Fundraising is a different skill. The gap between having a strong technical proposition and presenting a compelling investment case is where many strong companies lose months and momentum.

Investors are pattern-matching at speed. Your pitch deck, your financial model, your narrative structure, and your ability to handle diligence questions all have to be investor-grade before you go to market. Getting it wrong costs you dilution, credibility, and time you don't have.

We have raised over £12M for clients across pre-seed to Series B, and we have sat on both sides of the table. We know what investors need to see. We help you get there before you start the process, not during it.

What We Deliver

The full fundraising stack, from narrative to close.

Financial modelling and valuation

Creating compelling pitch decks, one-pagers, and data rooms that stand out in a crowded market.

Investor targeting and introductions

Identifying the right investors for your stage, sector, and geography, and facilitating warm introductions through our network.

Round management

Running structured fundraising processes, managing investor communications, and advising on term sheet negotiations.

Grant applications

Preparing and submitting applications to Innovate UK, UKRI, Horizon Europe, and other grant bodies.

Who This Is For

Right for you if…

  • Healthtech, medtech, and diagnostics companies preparing to raise

How We Work

Structured for the way fundraising actually works.

We typically work on fundraising engagements as defined projects with a clear scope and timeline: from initial narrative development through to investor process management. For companies earlier in the journey, we also offer retained advisory to build fundraising readiness over time.
