RAISING INVESTMENT 2023 FOUNDERS/FUNDS

Raising Investment in 2023 for Funds and Founders

It has been a steady year for us in raising equity for Global Founders and Funds with a consistency that reflected 2022. Coming out of Covid globally and with a Global recession which always starts in USA and now very much in the UK and upon reflection 2023 raising for Funds and Founders will be much harder. (58) Karen Melonie Gould | LinkedIn We experience an elevated level of contact from Funds not only in UK SEIS/EIS but across the pond in USA. It seems most Funds that were successful in the USA where out of NYC and Miami and Silicon Valley with an 80% being awarded to Funds with 10 years and more skin in the game.

We also noted that in 2022 we raised for various Founders but at Due Diligence stage particularly with Family Offices as that is what is our ‘sandpit’ that they did not make it due to lack of professional legal guidance or financial guidance. So, we have created a New Package for Founders to support that journey giving that support before we start the raising process.
