Turn an upcoming financing need into a round ready for investors.

Start before investor outreach begins. The right timing depends on how much work is needed, but preparation often starts several months before the company expects to approach investors.

Starting early leaves time to fix gaps in the proof, plans or materials. Once investors have formed a weak first view, it is difficult to reverse.

A company is ready when it can explain why it is raising, how much it needs, what the capital will achieve and why the opportunity is worth financing now.

The case does not need to be risk-free. It does need to be clear about what is already proven, what remains uncertain and how the round will move the company forward.

No. The work depends on the company, stage, type of financing and gaps that matter most. A company with a strong commercial case but weak materials needs different work from one that has a good product but an unclear reason for raising.

We agree the scope before starting.

Fundraising Preparation is normally undertaken when the company intends to continue into Fundraising Execution with CapReady once the round is ready. We do not position it as a standalone pitch-deck or fundraising-advice service.

The preparation phase does not guarantee that investor outreach will begin. CapReady must first conclude that the company, investment case and proposed round are ready for the market.

We will say so. Capital cannot fix an undefined customer, weak positioning or a business model that has not been thought through.

Some commercial gaps can be addressed within the preparation work. If the main problem is broader, Commercial Growth may be the better starting point.

It can include the financing need, round size, use of funds, milestones, ownership implications, investment case, financial assumptions, pitch deck, supporting materials, data room, investor focus, process plan and meeting preparation.

The exact scope depends on what is already strong and what is missing.

No. A deck is one output. It cannot replace a weak financing plan or missing proof.

We first make sure the reason for raising, the amount, the milestones and the investment case hold together. The materials should reflect that thinking.

That is the intended path. We normally begin Fundraising Preparation when the company wants CapReady to lead the round once it is ready.

Fundraising Execution remains a separate mandate. It begins after a positive readiness decision and agreement on the execution scope, responsibilities and commercial terms.

No. Investor outreach and introductions belong to Fundraising Execution, not preparation. During preparation, we define which investors are likely to fit and how the company should approach the market.

We do not sell investor lists or isolated introductions.

Yes. Equity is not always the right answer for every need. We can consider loans, grants, customer financing, strategic investors, project financing or a combination of sources where relevant.

The choice should reflect what is being financed, the risks involved and the company’s ability to repay or share ownership.

No. Investors make their own decisions. We can improve the financing plan, investment case, materials and preparation. We do not guarantee funding, valuation, investor interest or timing.

It depends on the starting point and the amount of work required. A focused review and correction can take weeks. Building missing proof or reworking the financing plan can take longer.

We agree the work, timetable and end point before starting.

Share your pitch deck or a short description of the company, the expected financing need, timing and what you believe must happen before the round begins. Tell us whether you are looking for a partner to prepare and lead the round.

We review the situation and determine whether Fundraising Preparation is the right starting point.

We agree the preparation scope, responsibilities, timetable and commercial terms before work begins. Defined preparation work is normally priced as a fixed scope. We also discuss the intended commercial structure for Fundraising Execution. There is no open-ended billable-hour engagement.
