Startup Advisory

Practical support across setup, structuring, financial planning and investor readiness.

Early-stage companies need advice that respects the constraint they are actually under: time. We keep the structural decisions correct, the compliance base clean, and the numbers ready for the conversations that decide the next stage.

Problems this solves

  • Founder equity agreed verbally and never documented
  • Cap table maintained in a spreadsheet with errors
  • Projections that do not reconcile with actual unit economics
  • Diligence exposing gaps that take weeks to fix

What you receive

  • Structuring and founder documentation coordinated with our legal team
  • Cap table and ESOP framework guidance
  • Financial model and projections tied to real unit economics
  • Diligence preparation and data room support

Frequently asked

When should ESOPs be set up?

Before the first hire you intend to grant options to. Retrofitting a pool after a round is more complicated and more dilutive to plan around.

Do you introduce startups to investors?

We prepare the financial and compliance side of a raise. We do not act as a placement agent or promise introductions.

Who this is for

  • Founders at incorporation or shortly after
  • Startups preparing for a first institutional round
  • Teams formalising founder equity and vesting
  • Companies building financial models for investors
