From term sheet to money in the bank
Getting a term sheet feels like the finish line. It is the point where the real work starts, and the gap between signing and seeing the money is usually six to ten weeks.
Structure Capital
The terms of a deal decide more than its price does.
A deal is a structure before it is a price: who owns what, on what conditions, and what happens at the next round or sale. Getting that wrong is expensive, and the cost does not show until years later.
Mainly for
Which side of the table are you on?
We work for both. For investors, we find companies, check them, and support the ones you back. For companies, we prepare you for the checks you are about to face. We also get you ready so a stock market listing becomes a plan, not just a hope.
Before

Investor ReadinessThe financial model, the pitch deck and the market case that hold up in a second meeting.
For the investor
Deal Flow SourcingCompanies from founders we already work with, checked against what you invest in.

Terms
For the company
Deal StructuringThe kind of shares or notes you issue, the terms, and the effects that outlast the headline price.

For the investor
Portfolio ManagementA finance and reporting team behind the companies you hold, so their growth in value is managed, not hoped for.

Revenue Recognition Mistakes That Distort Reality
Revenue is the most-watched number in a growing company. And in most growing companies, it is slightly wrong. Not wrong in a fraud sense. Wrong in a controllership sense.
Where does the deal start?
Running an accelerator or a corporate venture programme? See Strategy Labs.
From Sriram Chidambaram, Founder & Managing Partner
What causes delay, renegotiation and occasionally a dead deal is almost never the company’s performance. It’s the record of the company: the documents, the filings, the registers, the contracts.
Enterprise value isn’t built on a founder’s confidence. It’s built on numbers that hold up when someone who doesn’t trust you examines them.
