Founder stories
-
Venture investors can be daunting
Together with Claudiu and Alex at Binarly.io we polished their venture case and helped them raise less to avoid unnecessary dilution.
-
Sometimes you raise a bit too successfully
When Anja and Alex raised their preseed for Maroo.us, they also got into Y-Combinator. In order to avoid too much dilution too soon, we worked with them to balance the cap table.
-
There is only the success of your company
Aligning interests is key to a solid foundation on which you build your story. We worked with Sofi and Vlad from Letsenhance.io to create enough room so they could raise the seed round they needed.
-
Choose your investors carefully
Geras and Avag from EasyDMARC.com rather bootstrapped than jump at the first investor. We spent months laying the foundation for a trust-based partnership before investing and worked with them to onboard other investors.
