Ownership Architecture: who owns what, and when it stops being yours
Session · April 2026
Three kinds of company, three different first moves. Start where you are.
From first institutional round to the systems that survive the next one.
Usually starts with Raise Capital, then Protect Capital
Professionalising finance and governance until institutional capital is possible.
Usually starts with Raise Capital and Borrow Capital
Deal flow, diligence support and the portfolio work that follows a cheque.
Usually starts with Structure Capital
For founders
Self-assessment tools and matching engines. Work out where you actually stand before anyone else does it for you: your numbers, your reporting, the capital you qualify for and the investors who fit.
Revenue engineTwelve questions, four pillars, a level for each, and what to fix first.
ReportingNot a score. Your weakest load-bearing layer, and where the work starts.
Non-dilutive capitalCentral and state schemes you already qualify for and did not know existed.
Investor fitFunds whose thesis, cheque size and stage match yours now. Not a list of everyone.
Studio Connect
Founders, operators and investors in one room — the sessions where most of our work actually starts.
A decade of building alongside founders and operators, now working from four cities. Each one leads on the sectors and the capital its region actually has.
What we do
Three disciplines that only compound when they are run together. Most firms sell one of them; we run all three under one roof, for the same company, at the same time.
Forty-three capabilities, across the five things you can do with capital.
Design clarity before you scale: market, pricing, org and the operating structure that has to carry the growth.
Getting the money in, on terms the business can live with: equity, grants and the debt most founders never price properly.
The finance function as infrastructure: controls, compliance, reporting, and the structures that hold when someone examines them.

Alongside our direct work, SRF runs engagement programmes for ecosystem partners and funds, including cohorts with the Wadhwani Foundation, where selected startups get a growth-sprint model rather than a one-off session.
We will tell you what we would do first. No deck required, and no obligation to do it with us.
