Financing Stages of High Growth Businesses
Profit/Revenue
How innovative is the business? Is it a
disruptor of the market or is it more
of "me too"? We look for Innovation
to see if the business sets itself apart
from its competitors in the market.
The people involved in the business.
We will look at the founders, the
management team, the board, the
investors, the non-execs
What Do We Look For?
PIPE model
We'll assess the plan and model, look at the
cash position through the forecast, asses it's
achievability, and sensitise it. We also ask for
Plan B what's the strategy if Plan A doesn't
work? If cash headroom or runway is running
out, what can be done to cut costs to reach
breakeven or positive quicker?

going forward? We also look at the
