Venture Capital Consulting

Since 1999, Growthink Capital has helped dozens of high-growth companies prepare for raising capital. As a licensed broker-dealer investment bank for over 20 years, we are well versed in the varied landscape of venture capital investors and their attending investment criteria.

If you’re looking to raise venture capital (especially for Series A and beyond), you need to consider how much money you need, when you need it, how it will be allocated, and on what terms it will best serve future opportunities for the business. You also need time, attention, and resources to best prepare your firm to go to market – as well as the endurance to see a deal through to close.

Our venture capital consultants have closed deals with leading venture capitalists around the country and across the world. We can help you through the entire process, including:

• Refine your pitch and/or growth strategy: Working with clients on the development of their investment presentation and pitch is among the most rewarding aspects of our work. It is also the most important part of the venture capital consulting process. Through interviews with founders and CXOs, review of customer data, and independent market research, inevitably a story unfolds that is at once compelling and defensible.
• Conduct data, customer, or financial analysis: Our venture capital services include performing strategic market research to assess and validate market opportunities. We also review and analyze your company’s key performance indicators as well as relevant internal reports.
• Create financial projections: We develop full financial models and pro-formas, including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow analyses to justify funding requirements and project expected returns. Financial projections help determine the allocation of funds and key growth and expense drivers in advance of an effort to raise venture capital. All projections include adjustable assumptions to test best, worst and base case scenarios.
• Strategic advisory: We advise founders and/or management on ways to increase the strength of the business pre-raise as well as help mitigate areas of risk. 
• Build an investor pitch deck: We develop beautiful, persuasive, professionally designed investor slide decks to concisely explain the business model, market opportunity, and investment proposition.
• Prepare a data room: We support companies for preliminary and detailed investor due diligence, including establishing and populating comprehensive deal data rooms. We also help companies format their existing reports and data in ways most suitable for external investors, in addition to supporting real-time diligence, information, research, and analytical requests from interested investors.
• Negotiate deal terms: Deals can be structured in a myriad of ways. Growthink Capital draws on decades of experience and familiarity to advise on deal terms, structuring, valuation, control provisions, and scenarios, among many other factors. As importantly, our venture capital consulting team knows the truism that “time kills all deals” and throughout the detailed diligence process press all parties to move quickly and efficiently to a transaction closing. 

Our team of experts is dedicated to helping businesses secure the funding they need to grow and succeed. We will help you with each step, from putting together a business plan to connecting with potential investors through transaction close. Our ongoing support, advice, and energy will ensure that you can continue to focus on and grow your business in advance of and during a venture capital raise.
