Two phases.
One outcome.
A fixed Advisory Fee gets you Investment Ready. A Success Fee aligns us with your raise. Nothing in between.
Flip this on to apply the Women Entrepreneur Fees — Early & Growth Sprint Advisory Fees drop by 16% (16% off), and the Deal Closure Fee becomes a flat lower rate across both scales.
The "Investment
Ready" advisory fee.
A fixed commitment fee for the strategic work required to make your startup Investment Ready. Covers sector-specific mapping, building the investment narrative, live-testing the founder's pitch / IC simulation, and quantitative proof of health.
A rigorous, stage-specific blueprint to stress-test your strategy, score your investability, and bulletproof your diligence — before you ever step into an Investment Committee meeting.
The deal
closure fee.
Performance-based. Aligned with your growth. Payable only upon successful closing of the round and receipt of funds in the company bank account.
The fine print — no surprises.
Your funding
process starts here.
