Built to Raise. Ready to Grow
Raising capital is one of the hardest things a founder will do. I help early stage businesses present their financials and funding story in a way that resonates with investors and lenders.
A Perspective Most Founders Never Get
I bring something genuinely different — 25+ years of experience sitting on the other side of the table, evaluating businesses as a credit investor and investment committee member at some of Europe’s leading institutions.
I know exactly how investors and lenders think, what they look for, and where most funding applications fall short. I use that perspective to help founders build a stronger, more credible case for capital.
How I Work With Founders
Every founder’s situation is different. I focus on four areas where I can add the most value:
Financial Modelling & Analysis — Building or stress-testing your financial model so it stands up to serious investor scrutiny.
Investor Readiness — Reviewing and sharpening your pitch deck, financial narrative and data room so you’re presenting your business in the strongest possible light.
Funding Strategy — Helping you understand the full range of capital options available — equity, debt, grants and alternatives — and how to approach them in the right sequence.
Ongoing Finance Support — Working alongside you as a senior finance partner as your business grows — from early stage through to your first institutional raise.
How I Structure My Work
I work with a small number of founders at any one time, ensuring every engagement gets genuine senior attention. I’m flexible on how we work together — whether that’s a focused project or a longer term relationship — and I’m open to structuring arrangements that align my interests with yours.
Start the Conversation
If you’re an early stage founder thinking about your next raise, or simply want a senior finance perspective on your business, I’d love to have a conversation.
An initial conversation is informal and without obligation, and will help you understand how I can help you prepare for your next raise.
