When scrutiny exposes the gaps

Numbers that don’t match


The deck, model, board pack and KPIs tell different stories, and investors spot it before you do.

An ask without a plan


Investors ask how much, what it funds and how long it lasts, and the model cannot show it clearly.

Untested scenarios


Investors and lenders test slower growth and higher burn to see how long cash lasts. Untested assumptions cost you terms.

Every question becomes a project


Evidence sits across people, inboxes and folders, so each request takes days, momentum slips and doubt builds.

What has to hold together

How the engagement works

  1. 1

    Stress-test

    Find the inconsistencies, weak assumptions and gaps investors will find first.

  2. 2

    Fix

    Rebuild the model, numbers and materials in the order the timetable needs.

  3. 3

    Rehearse

    Test scenarios and likely questions before investors, lenders or diligence teams do.

I work with you — the founder, CEO, or existing CFO. You run the raise. I make the finance underneath it hold up.
