Fundraising Advisory

We prepare founders to raise with conviction: a raise strategy, contacts, a sharp narrative, numbers that hold up in diligence and a disciplined process from first meeting to close.

What we do

Raise like you run the business.

01

Raise readiness review

An honest read on whether you are ready to raise, what investors will push on, and what to fix before you go out.

02

Investor narrative and deck

A pitch built around your growth thesis: the problem, the wedge, the traction and why now. Tight enough to survive a three minute skim.

03

Financial model and metrics

A driver-based model and the metrics story behind it, with normalised earnings and unit economics investors can follow.

04

Investor targeting

A focused list of funds, angels and strategics that fit your stage, sector and cheque size, and a plan for approaching them.

05

Process management

Run the raise like a pipeline: sequencing, follow-ups, meeting prep and momentum, so fundraising does not swallow the business.

06

Data room and diligence

Organised documents, a clean cap table summary and prepared answers for the questions diligence always asks.

Who it's for
  • Founders preparing an institutional round
  • Emerging tech companies raising from specialist funds
  • Profitable businesses exploring growth or strategic capital
  • Teams whose last raise took longer than planned
What you walk away with
  • An investor-ready deck and narrative
  • A model and metrics pack that holds up in diligence
  • A targeted investor list and process plan
  • A data room ready before the first term sheet
How we engage

Three ways to work together.

Fixed scope · 30 days

30 Day Scale Thesis Fund Raising Program

Readiness review, narrative, deck and model, delivered as one focused project before you go to market.

Embedded

Fractional Growth Lead

Senior growth leadership that keeps your startup moving while the founders focus on the raise, or a leader that manages the fundraising while the founders focus on the business.

Scale Thesis provides strategic and preparation support. We work alongside your legal and financial advisers and do not provide financial product advice or deal in securities.
