Capital raising

Raising capital and selling the company are the same conversation with a different ending: in both, you have to reach the right counterparty and negotiate well. A fund that invests early will not look at an established company, and a strategic buyer wants something different from a financial one. This line covers both routes —capital raising and the sale of a business— through the same process: reaching whoever actually fits, and staying with it from the first meeting to the close.

What this line covers

Roadshow

Who the company is presented to, and how

We do not send your memorandum to a mass list. We build a short list of investors or buyers —depending on whether this is a capital raise or a sale— whose thesis matches the sector, stage, size and country of the company, and we run the meetings. Every conversation produces feedback, and that feedback is used to sharpen the next one.

What you get
  • A list of target investors or buyers, with each one's thesis and why they fit.
  • Presentation materials shaped around what that kind of investor actually reviews.
  • Scheduling and support in the meetings themselves.
  • A report on market feedback, meeting by meeting.

Term sheet

What gets negotiated before signing, and what each clause means

The term sheet settles far more than the price: how much you dilute, who decides what once the investor is in, the order in which everyone gets paid if the company is sold, and the conditions under which the investor can exit. We translate each point into plain language and tell you which ones are worth fighting for and which are not worth the friction.

What you get
  • Review and negotiation of the term sheet.
  • A side-by-side comparison when there is more than one offer.
  • Each clause explained in plain language, along with its effect over time.
  • A recommendation on what to negotiate and what to accept.

Closing

What is left after the handshake

Between signing the term sheet and the money arriving there is a due diligence process, a set of contracts and a list of conditions to be met. This is the stage where most transactions fall apart, almost always over documents that turn up late. We coordinate the process so that does not happen.

What you get
  • Coordination of the due diligence and the data room.
  • Support through the negotiation of the investment agreements.
  • Tracking of the conditions precedent through to disbursement.
  • Support through the first months after signing.
Frequently asked

What people usually ask us

Does this work if what I want is to sell the business, not raise capital?

Yes, it is the same line. A full sale, a partial sale and a mergers-and-acquisitions transaction follow the same path as a capital raise: prepare the information, reach the right counterparty, negotiate the terms and close. What changes is who the company is presented to and what gets negotiated.

Do you guarantee the capital gets raised?

No, and be wary of anyone who guarantees it. What we do control is that the company arrives prepared and is presented to the right investors, which is where most processes are lost.

What kind of investors?

We work on equity, debt and mixed structures, as well as the sale of companies, with regional funds, family offices, strategic buyers and investors from Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Chile and Switzerland, among others.

Can we start here, without having done the readiness work?

You can, but we look at the state of the information first. Going to market with open gaps burns contacts: an investor who has already said no rarely looks at the same company again six months later.

Is confidentiality maintained?

Yes. The company is presented first as a blind teaser, with no name and no details that would identify it. The full information is released only when there is real interest and a signed confidentiality agreement.

Tell us what you are looking for

The amount, what the capital is for and where the company stands today. With that we can tell you whether there are investors with a matching thesis and what it would take to reach them.
