Capital Raising

Campaign Support

"I engaged Duet Partners to run an ‘A' round funding process for the company. They helped us engage with a high quality syndicate combining both financial and strategic VC’s. The process was managed in a highly effective, professional way and we achieved all of the targets we had set for ourselves at the beginning of the project. I would highly recommend John and the team to other organisations looking for VC funding.’'

Steve Kelly, CEO/Founder, SmartKem

Overview

This is a retained engagement to support the capital raise, with 2 different options depending on the level of support required:

Guided CampaignFor companies managing their own funding campaigns, this layers in a level of expert guidance through the entire process together with select introductions to target investors if required. Usually appropriate for Seed stage and Series A rounds. Read more in our blog.

Managed Campaign: For companies that require full project management support of the funding campaign, from materials development to money in the bank. Usually appropriate for Series B onwards.

The key elements of campaign support include:
Planning the campaign - timeline & milestones
Investor pitch creation
Investor approaches and meeting preparation
Advice on remote pitching
Term Sheet assessment 
Due Diligence preparation
Investment Agreement critique
and advice on all aspects of deal management through completion
 

We have helped clients raise over $400M across a range of transactions including Seed, Series A, Series B, MBOs, sale of business, and other more complex financial restructurings.
