Snapshot of the Business & Idea
Executive Summary
Business Concept
A high-ticket boutique consultancy and digital platform that matches growth-stage founders with vetted capital sources through a done-for-you and tech-enabled hybrid service.
Why We Chose This
There’s a massive inefficiency in capital markets for resource exchange. This service bridges that gap with curated introductions, preparation coaching, and deal flow concierge.
Core Problem
Founders struggle to identify and secure aligned funding partners. Simultaneously, investors waste time vetting unqualified or mismatched deals.
Why Now
Private capital markets are booming ($10T+ globally) while VC funding tightens. Google Trends shows sustained strong interest in "startup funding" over the past 5 years.
Who This Is Perfect For
Startup Founders (Raising $500K–$5M), Real Estate Syndicators & Independent Sponsors, Fractional CFOs / Advisors, Family Offices, Micro-VCs & Angels (Investor Side).
