How We Help YOu
Close Your Round

We have shown exceptional results in two categories:

1 Quickly closing VC series A+ & PE pre-IPO/exit rounds

2 Maximizing results in Community Rounds

  • πŸ—£οΈ β€œWe are too close to the problem that we’re solving to be able to tell our story in a clear and compelling way. I know that what gets me funding is not my idea, it is how my idea is presented. Investors are looking at me first, then my business. I need an expert to turn our investment materials & pitch into a compelling & backable story.”

    β€”

    Review & Organize

    • Hands-on deck review

    • Dig into cold outreach copy & initial strategy

    • Get proactive with due diligence worksheets

    Deep Dive & Rewrite

    • Clarify the What and the How

    • Develop the right storyline for the target investor(s)

    • Pitch practice

    Game Time

    • Develop an outreach plan

    • Build on proven outreach templates

    • Live investor shadow & pitch feedback

  • πŸ—£οΈ β€œI’m headed into a new round. My team and I want to hit the ground running, but we’re already working overtime! I need a team who can drive this raise to a close; from cleaning up our story & terms, to making warm investor introductions, through to managing the pipeline, diligence, and close.”

    β€”

    30+ years working building first-name relationships with Partners at all of the top firms across the country. This network was built during my partners time working at the pinnacle of startup financing firms. Our network dramatically improves your chance of getting looked at, meeting with investors, and actually raising capital.

    Our goal is to reduce your fundraising workload to:

    • Read investor brief

    • Pitch

    • Repeat

  • πŸ—£οΈ β€œI’m launching a community round, but I’ve never done something like this before. We could really use a temporary team member with extensive crowdfunding expertise to remove as much of the learning curve as possible, and provide us with the proper support and guidance to squeeze as much juice out of our community as possible!”

    β€”

    Community Rounds are often a brilliant pairing with your institutional raise, and hence The Network began - giving founders everything they need to close a multi-pronged round.

    Community Round Strategy & Execution:

    • Weekly calls leading up to the launch

    • Developing a compelling narrative / Building a backable campaign page / Tailoring & tweaking outreach strategy / Curating outreach content / Preparing for a live launch β€˜event’ / Handling investor Q&A / Simplifying investor relations and closing / Avoiding the far too common pitfalls

    • Access to 30+ pages of proven templates for email & social media

    • Access to 20+ pages of plug & play calendars, planning & strategy docs

  • πŸ—£οΈ β€œI’m still in the driver’s seat but looking to exit soon. Honestly, access to applicable and accurate information about this process is surprisingly hard to come by.

    Some of my friend’s have exited their own companies, but the details of the sale are hard to apply to my own scenario, and plus the numbers they tell me always seem to get bigger each time the story is told!

    I need somebody to shoot me straight and tell me what is possible, probable, and not. And then work with me to make the acquisition happen on my terms.”
