SEED TO SERIES A

Raising investment is a time-consuming and a critical task, which distracts the CEO and senior management from running and growing their tech company. We integrate into the company to undertake this task on behalf of the CEO, relieving the CEO and senior management to continue to grow the business. We become your Chief Investment Officer.

TECHCELERATE SERVICES

Our core services include, but not limited to

Investment Readiness

We work with you to ensure your tech company is as ready as it can be before you pitch to investors. Prior to Investment Readiness, we work on Company Readiness, so that there are no delays in growing your company upon receipt of investment.

Investor Roadshow

We work with you to identify the right investors for your organisation based on the stage your company is in and your specific growth needs and aspirations. We introduce legal and financial advisors to ensure you are well looked after during negotiations.

Post Investment Growth Support

Techcelerate Specialists are available to fill talent gaps you might have. Through our recruitment partners, we can facilitate and speed up recruitment post-investment. Techcelerate Network can then step into open new markets for your company helping you to achieve scale.

SERVICES IN DETAIL

Techcelerate Services explained in detail.

COMPANY READINESS

Step before Investment Readiness

Some companies require upfront work before the Investment Readiness process can start. This could range from spinning out a new company to restructuring the company including resolving shareholder issues, setting up EMI schemes and simplifying the cap table.

INVESTMENT READINESS

Reducing investor due diligence

The more prepared you are, the less time it would take to close an investment round. Our role is to work with you closely to fill the gaps and get you ready as much as possible before you pitch your business to potential investors. As part of this, we will conduct due diligence, work with you to improve your positioning and strategy, pitch deck, forecasts and the business plan.

INVESTOR ROAD SHOW

Matching Company to Investors

Pitching to the wrong investors will simply extend the time to close. We will work closely with you to ensure we only pick the investors who invest in the stage you are in as well as invest in your sector. In addition to Techcelerate Investment Network, we will also dig deeper into our deals database (Deal Lite) to identify potential new investors.

COMPLETION & POST INVESTMENT SUPPORT

Handholding all the way

Working closely with trusted Financial and Legal Advisors, we are here to ensure you get the best deal possible, both in terms of valuation, terms and the right fit (beyond cash) for the growth of your business. Post investment, we will continue to work with you to skill up and hit the road running. Our Partners and Specialists are available to make your journey easier.

Could you help us raise investment?

Yes, we may be able to help you, provided that you meet our minimum criteria.
