Fund Raising

“I stopped asking clients if they want
money... turns out everyone wants
money. Now I ask the people who have
money what they want to invest in. And
tailor investments to meet their
specific requirements.”
— Isaac Lee

Tailoring your raise to fit the investor...
Fund raising focused on investor mandate rather than company positioning.

Everyone wants money. Many have genuinely interesting investment opportunites. But today’s fundraising environment requires a specific approach – more akin to sharp-shooting than scattering bullets in all directions and hoping something will hit.

We start from the opposite viewpoint. We spend time with development banks, private equity sponsors, private credit firms and commercial lenders, along with a variety of specialist investors, funds and family offices. We listen to their investment mandates, ticket size, preferred sectors, return requirements and individual investment perspectives.

When we take on a fund-raising mandate, it is not just because we believe in your project. It is because we believe your project – properly presented and aligned – can meet specific criteria for real investors. We will not waste your time (or ours) unless we can identify targets with real prospects.

We tailor your offering to investors that have the funds. That may require a specific financial presentation, legal analysis, or a particular ESG positioning. Checking the boxes in the application in order to secure the interview.
