The advisory firm behind the community.
Scale Thesis is an advisory firm founded by Fletcher Roberts, co-founder of Hashlock. Alongside running Funded & Fundraising Founders, we work with a small number of companies on growth, fundraising readiness and the systems behind them.
Three practices, one focus on growth.
Emerging Tech Growth Advisory
Growth strategy for Web3, AI and deep tech companies, turning a strong product into a repeatable revenue engine and getting the business ready for its next capital or exit event.
- Go-to-market strategy
- Sales and BD systems
- Positioning and narrative
- Partnerships and ecosystem
- Exit and M&A readiness
Fundraising Readiness & Research
We prepare founders to raise with conviction: research into the investor market, a sharp narrative, numbers that hold up in diligence and a team ready for every investor conversation.
- Raise readiness review
- Investor narrative and deck
- Financial model and metrics
- Investor market research: VCs, private equity, family offices and angels
- Data room and diligence preparation
Your team runs its own raise and makes contact with investors directly.
Owner-led Business Growth
Practical growth consulting for owner-led businesses where every dollar and every hour counts, built around the numbers that matter and the core constraint holding the business back.
- Growth audit
- Client acquisition funnels
- Sales process and systems
- Marketing advisory
- Metrics and measurement
Three ways to work together.
The 30 Day Scale Thesis Program
A focused project to diagnose, plan and take action.
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing strategic counsel and guidance.
Fractional Growth Lead
Senior leadership for growth, sales and business development inside your team, without a full-time executive hire.
Scale Thesis Pty Ltd provides business strategy, market research and preparation support only. We do not introduce or refer investors, arrange or negotiate investments, act for the company in a raise, provide financial product advice or deal in securities. Your team runs its own raise, and we work alongside your legal and financial advisers.
