Practices

Capital raising

A round is not won in the pitch; it is won in the preparation and the process. We build the model and valuation the way an investment committee will read them, design the investor list by thesis and stage, run a process against a calendar, and negotiate the term sheet and definitive documents through closing. We have closed pre-seed to Series A rounds with Kalonia, Amador Ventures, LDM Capital, GC Capital and Oikocredit, among others.

  • You have demonstrable traction and need between one and fifteen million dollars for the next eighteen to twenty-four months.
  • You have received investor interest but have no process, no calendar and no defensible valuation.
  • Your cap table or corporate structure is not ready for an institutional investor.
  • You want to combine equity and debt in the same round to reduce dilution.
  • You need a counterpart who speaks the language of the investment committee and represents you in the negotiation.

Frequently asked questions

How are your fees structured?

An initial retainer on signing the mandate, plus a success fee calculated on the capital actually closed. The exact structure is agreed at the first meeting based on the size and complexity of the round.

Do you require exclusivity?

Yes, for the duration of the process. An exclusive mandate lets us represent the company with a single voice before investors and prevents two intermediaries from approaching the same fund, which damages the perception of the round.

What documentation do you need to start?

Historical financial statements, monthly operating metrics, an up-to-date cap table, corporate documents and the business plan in whatever state it is. With that we run the initial diagnosis; the rest is built during the mandate.

How long does a round take?

It varies widely: from sixteen weeks to twelve months between signing the mandate and closing. It depends on how orderly the information is on arrival, whether the cap table needs restructuring and whether the process requires regulatory due diligence.

Do you work with international funds?

Yes. A good share of the rounds we advise include funds based outside Mexico. The investor list is built by thesis and stage, not by geography, and materials are prepared in Spanish and English.
