We are here to get you funded.

Who this is for

We work with founders at three moments:

• Raising now – you are in market, or about to be.
• Preparing for your next round – six to twelve months out, getting the business investor-ready.
• Thinking about your first institutional raise – bootstrapped or angel-funded, and working out what comes next.

We cover SEIS-eligible companies through to Series B, on equity, debt and strategic fundraising, for businesses based in the UK or raising into it.

Raising a smaller SEIS or EIS round? Our Speed Pitch puts you in a room with active angels – six-minute rounds, face to face, no stage and no slides. For many early rounds that is the fastest route to the money, and it costs a fraction of an advisory mandate. Plenty of founders do both: pitch at the events first, then bring us in when the round gets larger or more complex. 

What our investors are looking for right now

These are live mandates from investors in our network:

• Tech and tech-enabled businesses in the regions Wales, Yorkshire and Scotland with £500k+ annual revenues
• SEIS-eligible businesses with £150k+ of allocation left
• £1m+ EBITDA-positive businesses looking for and MBO, exit or scale
• Fintech, AI and e-commerce businesses with £1m+ of revenues
• Marketplaces with £1m+ of net revenues
• Founders who have bootstrapped with angel investors and are considering their first institutional round

If you recognise your company in that list, it is worth a conversation now rather than in six months.

A Selection of Recent Mandates we have closed

£3.1m for a family leisure listing platform. Advised on capital raising strategy and completed a £3.1m raise led by Venrex, with further investment from Active Partners and Redrice, letting the company consolidate its UK position and expand into the US. 

£6m for a global customer payments platform for the travel industry. Advised on capital raising strategy and completed a £4m raise from Octopus Ventures, plus a further £2m from other investors, funding growth across international markets. 

£500k and counting for Stuart Trevor, sustainable fashion. Advised Stuart Trevor – exited founder of All Saints – on capital raising strategy and completed a £500k pre-seed from a syndicate of angels. 

How it works

Five stages. No stage starts before the one before it is genuinely finished.

1. Understanding your business. We go through your financials, legal documents, team and product, then deep-dive the core claims and test the assumptions underneath them. This is the part most advisors skip, and it is why the outreach later lands.

2. Preparing the investor-facing documents. We work with your team to sharpen the deck and the financial model, advise on the data room, and build what is missing – valuation analysis, competitor matrix, market sizing.

3. Beginning outreach. Pitch rehearsal first. Then the outreach template, a target list built against thesis rather than logo, and the campaign opens.

4. Continued outreach and negotiation. We keep the outreach running, attend investor meetings with you, feed back honestly afterwards, and negotiate term sheets with the investors who engage.

5. Finalising and closing. Term sheet reviewed and finalised alongside your legal and accounting teams, and the round closed.

How long it takes

We will do our best to get your money as quickly as we can. But six weeks to 6 months is realistic for a full advisory mandate. Our quickest ever Term Sheet was within 8 days from sign up but that is the exception not the rule.

Smaller SEIS and angel rounds move faster, which is part of why we point founders at the Speed Pitch for those. 

How we charge

We aim to do the majority of our work on a success fee, so we only get paid if the money lands in your bank account. Having been founders ourselves, we know how hard you work for it.

Where you need a deck, a financial model or valuation work built from scratch, or where there is a pressing deadline or an intense volume of work, we will charge for that – and we will tell you before you commit to anything.

That is deliberately the opposite way round from most advisory firms.

Start a conversation

Tell us what you are raising, where the business is, and when you need the money in the bank. We will come back to you and tell you honestly whether we are the right people – and if we are not, where you should go instead.
