WHAT DO WE DO?

We take the complexity out of raising a pre-seed round for deep tech founders. We get you in front of investors who actually understand dual use technology, government validation, and long technical sales cycles, not generalist funds that need your moat explained in one sentence. We have a reputation investors trust, built on the quality of the technical founders we choose to back.

We also provide a software platform to facilitate investor funding, manage cap table records, and handle compliance, saving you the hours that would otherwise go into paperwork instead of building.

WHAT’S THE OPPORTUNITY?

We are founders investing in founders, so we know firsthand what it takes to raise capital while building hard technology that does not fit a typical pitch deck template. We know how to raise money for this kind of company and we will save you time so you can stay focused on the work.

Statistics show that each round of startup fundraising takes an average of 4 to 9 months to complete, requiring as much as 70% of a founder's time, energy, and focus. That is worse for deep tech founders, who also have to educate investors on the science before they can even get to the pitch. It is time consuming to identify and pitch the right accredited investors, manage documents and signatures, and then keep up with ongoing investor reporting and compliance, especially for a first time founder.

WHY ARE WE BETTER?

We support direct access to accredited investors who already understand material science, semiconductors, biotech, energy, defense, space, and applied sciences, plus the federal grant landscape (SBIR, AFWERX, DARPA, ARPA-E, DOE, NIH, NASA) that often runs alongside private capital for these companies. We also provide a fundraising and governance software platform that removes the guesswork and reduces legal costs tied to agreement drafting, SEC compliance, and reporting. Our software, used by over 100,000 startups, handles everything from cap table management to monthly investor updates, investor management, and board governance reporting.

WE’VE IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM

Startup fundraising is complex and time consuming for any founder, and that gets harder for deep tech founders raising pre-seed capital. Once funding closes, ongoing investor management such as monthly updates, SEC compliance, and board governance can be confusing and time consuming on top of actually building the product.

BUT WE HAVE A SOLUTION

We bring capital raising experience specific to deep tech, plus investor management software, to guide you through the fundraising process: identifying and qualifying the right accredited investors, then handling deal data review, legal agreements, and document signing. From there we continue with cap table management, ongoing record keeping, and investor management. We guide you from pitching through closing the round to ongoing monthly investor updates and board governance.

As co-investors in your startup, we'll help you build a fundraising strategy suited to a technical company and free up your time in the process.
