THREE PHASES.
ONE MISSION.
Every engagement follows a structured process
designed to maximize your chances of closing.
Qualification
Every mandate begins with a qualification review: market fit, traction and team.
Who this is for
What we decline says more than what we claim. These are the lines we hold.
Right fit
Pre-seed to Series A, in Europe and internationally Founders whose control of the company is at stake in the round Equity, token, or a hybrid of the two to arbitrate Founders who will do the corrections the work calls for A file that needs structuring before it needs introductions Cross-border rounds, including OHADAand francophone Africa
Not our mandate
Success-fee-only arrangements: structuring is paid work,closing or not Outreach on a file whose numbers do not reconcile:
we fix it first or we decline Third-party legal or advisory fees marked up in our name Token issuance with no operating business behind it Introductions without structuring work Distressed or rescue financing
Structure
We define your optimal financing strategy.
We begin with a strategic audit combining financial health and competitive positioning.
We recommend the format that fits your DNA.
Connect
We prepare materials and execute investor outreach.
We optimize your pitch deck and build a comprehensive data room.
We coordinate strategic introductions.
Conclude
We support you through negotiation and closing.
We guide term sheet negotiation.
We support legal closing coordination.
4–8 months
Every project is unique.
These durations are estimates based on typical engagements.
We will provide a more detailed timeline after our initial discovery conversations, tailored to your specific context and ambitions.
How we operate
Clarity
We turn complex financing questions into clear, actionable decisions.
Rigor
Every recommendation is grounded in structure, numbers, and execution logic.
Direct relationships
You work directly with the person leading the mandate from start to finish.
Where a lawyer or a generalist M&A advisor stops, we keep going
A lawyer drafts the shareholders’ agreement once the round is signed. We’re already three phases earlier: structuring, outreach, negotiation.
A generalist M&A advisor runs one process: equity. If your model needs a token tranche, most hand it off or skip it.
We run both inside the same mandate, with one point of contact throughout.
One process. Every phase. No handoff.
What a valuation argument is worth
The figures below are illustrative. A simplified model, not a client engagement. The mechanism is what matters.
Two founders raise €3M. The amount is identical in both scenarios.
Only the valuation argument differs.
At 40%, the founders sit below the control threshold: any two shareholders acting together can outvote them on ordinary business.
At 70%, they keep an absolute majority: for the same capital raised, and with a valuation the plan can defend under diligence.
Same money raised. The whole difference is the argument made for the valuation.
