Raising capital can be one of the most defining and demanding chapters in building a company.
FundingMatters supports founders in preparing, positioning, and executing investor-ready funding rounds. This application is the first step toward hands-on, practical support throughout the entire fundraising process.
Founders and management teams who:
• Are preparing for a funding round (Pre-Seed to Series B)
• Want to approach institutional investors or angels with confidence
• Need support building a financial model, pitch deck, or investment strategy
• Value honest feedback and high standards
• Have already validated the core idea or product
This service is best suited for teams who are ready to work on clarity, structure, and results — not templates or theory.
Accepted founders receive tailored support in areas such as:
• Business case review and financial modeling
• Company valuation based on market trends and investor logic
• Investment narrative refinement
• Pitch deck creation and improvement
• Structuring of a complete investor-ready data room
• Warm introductions to relevant investors across Europe, the UK, the US, and the Netherlands
• Guidance through the full deal process — from pitch to signed term sheet
Every step is built around your specific venture, funding goals, and market context.
Share your background, business model, current progress, and funding goals. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
Applications are reviewed for stage-fit, ambition, and potential for investor alignment. If accepted, the next steps are shared within a few business days.
The first session focuses on defining needs, assessing current materials, and outlining a roadmap toward funding readiness.
From strategic work to investor outreach, every step is handled with a hands-on, founder-first approach — until the deal is closed.
This is not an accelerator, pitch competition, or templated process. Each collaboration is custom-built, highly engaged, and focused on achieving a clear funding outcome. Limited slots are available to maintain quality and depth of involvement.
FundingMatters works with ambitious founders and management teams in early-stage or growth-phase ventures and is sector agnostic.
FundingMatters has experience across the full fundraising spectrum: from pre-seed to Series A, B, C, and D.
Company valuation is a core part of the support process.
Depending on the maturity of the company and the available data, methods such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), comparable market multiples, or benchmarking against recent deals are used.
The valuation is an outcome of the business case, growth potential, and market.
Investor introductions are part of the offering when the pitch deck and investment narrative are ready and of high quality.
FundingMatters maintains an active network of venture capital firms, family offices, and angel investors across the US, UK, Germany, NL, France, Belgium and other European countries.
Introductions are always made selectively and only when there’s a clear alignment between the investor’s focus and the ventures stage, sector, and funding ask.
The goal is to facilitate meaningful connections that can lead to real engagement, strategic interest, and investment.
It starts with a personal meetings with founders, management, and other stakeholders to get to know the team and the company.
From there, a tailored roadmap is created, outlining what’s needed: strategy sessions, business case refinement, pitch deck creation, investor outreach and the funding process itself.
