The Problem

Raising capital shouldn't mean
losing your company

Most businesses default to whatever the platform template offers — even when it's wrong for their situation. The result is unnecessary dilution, crippling debt terms, or a failed raise entirely.

Equity Is Expensive

Giving up 15–30% of your cap table to raise a seed round means giving away value you'll never get back. For many businesses, equity isn't the right instrument — but it's the only one most platforms offer.

Debt Can Kill Growth

Fixed monthly payments and restrictive covenants can choke a growing business. If your revenue is variable or seasonal, traditional debt structures work against you when you need flexibility most.

Nobody Sits on Your Side

Funding portals optimize for their deal volume. Lawyers bill hourly to file paperwork. Neither is incentivized to design the optimal capital structure for your specific business. You deserve an advisor who is.

What We Structure

The right instrument for
your situation

Not every business should issue equity. Not every business should take debt. We design the security that matches your revenue profile, growth stage, and goals.
Performance-Linked

Profit Participation Notes

Investors share in distributable profits with a defined return cap. Returns align directly with your business performance — no fixed obligations, no dilution.
Ideal for: Profitable businesses with variable margins
Balanced Risk

Blended Structures

A small equity tranche combined with a revenue share or convertible component. Gives investors upside while minimizing founder dilution.
Ideal for: Businesses balancing investor appeal with ownership preservation
Early Stage

Convertible Revenue Notes

Revenue-based repayment with optional conversion to equity at a future priced round. A bridge for early companies not ready to price a round.
Ideal for: Pre-revenue or early-revenue startups
Established

Simple Bonds & Debt

Fixed-rate instruments for businesses with predictable cash flows. Straightforward, familiar to retail investors, and clean on the cap table.
Ideal for: Established businesses with steady revenue
High Growth

Equity & SAFEs

When equity is the right answer, we structure it properly — non-voting common shares or SAFEs with founder-friendly terms. We just don't default to it.
Ideal for: Venture-scale companies seeking growth equity

Questions

Common questions

What's a Revenue Royalty Certificate?
An RRC is a security that gives investors a percentage of your gross revenue for a defined period. Unlike equity, investors don't own a piece of your company. Unlike debt, you don't have fixed monthly payments or covenants. Payments scale with your revenue — if you have a slow month, payments are lower. It's a way to raise capital while keeping 100% ownership and zero debt.
How is this different from using a funding portal directly?
Platforms provide infrastructure — a place for investors to find you and invest. But they default to templated instrument types (usually equity or SAFEs) and don't advise on what's optimal for your specific situation. We sit on your side of the table, design the right security for your business, handle the SEC paperwork, and then place you on the best platform for your offering. Think of us as your capital markets team — the platform is just one piece of the puzzle.
How long does the process take?
For Reg CF offerings, typically 6–10 weeks from engagement to campaign launch. This includes security design, financial statement preparation, Form C drafting and SEC filing, and portal onboarding. Reg A+ offerings take longer (4–6 months) due to the SEC qualification process. We'll give you a realistic timeline in our first conversation.
What if my raise doesn't hit its target?
90% of our fee is only due upon successful close. The 10% paid at SEC filing covers the cost of structuring and regulatory preparation. If your campaign doesn't reach its minimum target, you're not on the hook for the remaining 90%. We're incentivized to structure an offering that will actually close.
How much can I raise?
Under Reg CF, up to $5 million in any 12-month period from both accredited and non-accredited investors. Under Reg A+ Tier 2, up to $75 million. For larger or more complex raises, we can stack exemptions (e.g., Reg CF + Reg D side-by-side) to maximize your access to capital. We'll recommend the right approach based on your target amount.
Do I need audited financials?
For first-time Reg CF issuers raising over $124K, you'll need reviewed (not audited) financial statements. For repeat issuers or Reg A+ Tier 2 offerings, audited financials are required. We coordinate with PCAOB-registered CPA firms who specialize in crowdfunding financials to make this as painless as possible.
