FUEL THE Idea
SOF Seed Funding & Advisory
The SOF Seed Funding desk works with founders on the two things capital actually depends on — a financial model that holds up, and a funding story that lands. Revenue projections, cash-flow, valuation, pitch deck and investor introductions, handled by practising finance professionals and investors.
Advisory Scope
Startups rarely lose funding on the idea. They lose it on the model, the valuation and the ask. Both tracks below run on your actual numbers, not a template.
Build a defensible financial model that stands up to investor scrutiny and diligence questions.
Convert the model into a story, a valuation and a clear route to capital.
Outcome
Working spreadsheet with revenue, cost and cash-flow scenarios you can defend line by line.
Full deck plus a one-pager built for cold intros and follow-up conversations.
Method, benchmarks and a cap-table view of the round you are raising.
Shortlisted grants, lenders, angel networks and funds matched to your stage.
