Raise on a plan an investor can check.
Investors in health, industry and software spend their time checking claims. A company that makes that easy tends to raise on better terms.
Why raises stall
Whatever the investor type, the same things slow a process down:
The model ignores the milestones
For a health or device company, runway depends on regulatory and clinical steps. A model that treats them as dates on a chart will not survive questions.
The data room is an afterthought
Which tells the investor exactly how the company runs when nobody is watching.
The pitch and the accounts diverge
The pitch describes one trajectory and the financials another, and a good investor finds the gap first.
The founders carry the raise alone
The founders run the raise alongside running the company, and both suffer.
A fractional CFO who has raised before lifts the process from the founders, handling the model, the materials, the data room, diligence and answers to questions nobody has asked yet. Our operators have raised from institutional investors, strategic partners and family capital, and know what each tests.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
What backs a young company
The introduction begins our work. Governance from us and a collective of peers stay with your executive.
Reviews on a rhythm
At each milestone we check progress with the founders and reshape the brief with you where it needs it.
Peers on hand
Your finance lead has colleagues to ask. A diligence question about quality or regulatory reaches someone who has answered it.
A brief we keep current
Should your executive leave, the next search starts from the brief we keep, and we run the changeover.
Matched to the round you are running
A strategic investor, a venture fund and a family office each test different things. We match to the one you actually face.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
